The Story of Annette Zelman

Based on a true account found in the book Dénoncer les Juifs sous l'Occupation ("Denouncing the Jews under the Occupation"), The Story of Annette Zelman channels Romeo and Juliet into Nazi-occupied Paris, 1942.  Annette is Jewish; Jean, her passionate suitor, is Catholic.  Much to the chagrin of Jean's wealthy, well-connected, and, frankly, anti-Jewish parents, the young couple are determined to marry, and in a singular effort to save his son from what he believes will be a terrible mistake, Jean's father reports Annette to the Gestapo, with tragic, unintended consequences for all concerned.
