Das Missverständnis

The world bestseller by Irène Némirovsky is now a film! Summer 1940: Within a few weeks, France is overrun by German troops, and Paris and large parts of the country are occupied by the Nazis. The Angellier family also suffers from the consequences of the war and is forced to take in one of the despised German officers. However, despite being enemies, a tender love story unfolds between the passionate Lucille Angellier and the reserved Bruno. For over 60 years, the legacy of the French star author of the 1930s remained unrecognized in a suitcase—until chance brought this impressive portrayal of life during World War II to light. The rediscovered novel Suite française is a literary sensation: it is published in more than 40 countries and is compared to Tolstoy's War and Peace.
