The film La guerre à Paris, directed by Yolande Zauberman and co-written with Gérard Brach, stars Jérémie Renier as Jules, a 19-year-old Jewish man living in occupied Paris.

In this historical drama, Jules is torn between passivity and action, betrayal and commitment, while his younger brother, Thomas, tries to resist the German occupation.

Visually, the film employs a palette of muted light and heavy shadows: the Parisian streets under the Occupation are bathed in an almost metaphysical chiaroscuro, while the enclosed and hushed family interiors offer a dense and intimate visual texture.
