Natalia (1988)
Film Synopsis
In 1940, Natalia is a young Polish Jew who dreams of making a name for herself as an actress in France. By a stroke of good fortune, she meets a film director who gives her a role and some fake identity papers. Her career gets off to a promising start but, during the Occupation, she is arrested and ends up being sent to a Nazi concentration camp. On her return to France, she refuses to take part in the anti-collaboration purge that is sweeping the country and gives up acting altogether.© James Travers
