Very weak and disappointing, 16 June 2008

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I really wanted to like this movie; it's an interesting subject which is not well covered (North African Jewry). However the acting is very poor, and the story just doesn't have anything special about it. It ends abruptly, giving the feeling that the author wrote himself into a corner and just typed "the end" in the middle of his narrative.

The scenery is pretty, although not enough of Tunis is shown; it's just very hard to find many positive things to say about this flick.

SPOILER: There is one scene where the Henri's mother and sister discover that his father is alive, by watching a newsreel where he is next to DeGaulle. Okay, that alone stretches one's credulity, but their actions are just not believable. Wouldn't one scream and sob with catharsis? Certainly North African Jews would react dramatically and passionately! But the director just has them smile and laugh....like one would react to finding a set of lost keys, rather than a family member all had given up for dead.
