Trailer
When Francois makes a discovery in the attic of his family home, harrowing truths are revealed about his parent's past that will change his life forever.-
Based on Philippe Grimbert's fact-inspired novel, "Un secret" is a fine drama that stands as Gallic vet Claude Miller's best in at least a decade.
Dennis Harvey, Variety -
It's a gripping story, extremely well acted.
Philip French, The Observer -
This is an affecting, powerful film that deals with the very human response to the inhuman suffering of French Jews in World War Two. Miller has crafted an intelligent, meditative response to a seismic and cruel moment in French history.
