Paris, 1935. A dark shadow falls over Europe as Adolf Hitler's regime gains momentum, leaving the city of Paris on the brink of occupation. Young Madeleine Levy --- the granddaughter of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish World War I hero --- steps bravely into a new wave of resistance women. When Madeleine meets a young Jewish refugee from Germany, she knows that she cannot stand idly by. She offers children comfort and strength while working with other members of the resistance to smuggle them out of Paris and into safer territories. Amidst the impending horror and doubt, Madeleine and Claude, a young Jewish Resistance fighter who shares her passion for saving children, are drawn fiercely together.

Against the backdrop of the Nazi invasion of France, young Ida fights for her survival as an independent young woman nurturing the dark creative genius of her parents. Little could she know how much her father’s artistic brilliance, and his sinister master painting, “The Bridal Chair,” would shape her life.
