Sinopsis:
Sabine, Daniel and his sister, Anna, are headed for the Moreaux Pass and freedom when their guide is killed. The children find refuge in a Catholic school and must deal with overcoming stereotypes and trust Christians in a world where such trust could prove deadly. The time is the early 1940s, at the height of the Nazi occupation of France. At the risk of her own life, Sister Gabrielle shelters three Jewish children in her Catholic schoolroom. Things become even riskier when the three kids request permission to celebrate Hannukah.
In the film, three Jewish children fleeing the Nazis take refuge in a French convent and boarding school run by a Catholic nun, Sister Gabrielle, after their guide taking them to Spain is killed. The children arrive while the school is putting on a Nativity pageant, and in a quick act of thinking, Sister Gabrielle pretends the three children are her students. The children remain in the school for some time while Nazis in the area, led by Sergeant Schlimmer hunt for them in the forests surrounding the convent. Sister Gabrielle takes great lengths to keep the children’s identity a secret, but Sergeant Schlimmer is suspicious and continues to believe that the children could be hiding in the school. Meanwhile, the Jewish children have to cope with some of the Christian students who have negative attitudes towards Jews. Gradually, after teaching them about their religion, they win them over and become friends with the other children. Eventually, the entire school helps the children escape when they confuse the Nazis by dressing the Jewish and Catholic children in each other’s clothing during a school play. While the Nazi soldiers are distracted by the wrong children, the real Jewish children flee towards the border and escape into Spain.
