Fanny's Journey

Fanny (Léonie Souchaud) is a Jewish girl in a French orphanage in 1943, and what she wants is to get the younger children out of France before the Nazis reach them. When their guide disappears, she is left to lead the group toward Switzerland and over the mountains. Lola Doillon follows the children through the long walk, and the film keeps returning to Fanny and Erika (Fantine Harduin), the youngest in her care, who hold on to each other.
