Paris, 1942. Thirteen-year-old Tova and her parents are expelled from their home and are forced to hide in a tiny room, relying on the mercy of neighbors. In the small room that becomes her entire world, young Tova refuses to succumb to the harsh reality and manages to harness her imagination and innocence to breathe life and hope into their situation: she draws a piano on the floor to bring music back into the family's life, improvises a makeup corner where she can comb her mother's hair and restore her smile, and, above all, gazes upon Paris through a small skylight, remembering life before the war and imagining the day after—and the future that awaits. Based on a true story, Nils Tavernier (THE FINISHERS) presents an emotional portrait about family, solidarity, and the power of faith.
