The historical drama by François Truffaut transports us to occupied Paris, where a theater troupe continues to perform, while a Jewish director hides in the basement. What to do when the city lives under curfew, and every conversation could become evidence? François Truffaut's film tells the story of theater as both a refuge and a trap. On stage, rehearsals and performances are ongoing, while behind the scenes, a secret lurks that could destroy everything: the troupe's leader hides her husband, the director, in the basement because his origins could be revealed with one wrong word. In the frame, everyday routine and big decisions intertwine: whom to trust, what to tell the audience, where the line is drawn between professional duty and human loyalty. We share how to organize leisure in St. Petersburg.
