Based on an autobiographical novel by FANNY BEN-AMI, Fanny's Journey is a coming-of-age drama about a 13-year-old Jewish girl who fights for her family’s survival while the Nazis overtake France and Italy. After the arrest of their father in Paris, Fanny and her younger sisters are sent from their home in France to an Italian foster home for Jewish children, led by a tough but kindhearted woman, Madame Forman (César-winning actress CECILE DE FRANCE). Their life is scarcely settled when the Nazis arrive, forcing Fanny and the other ten children to flee yet again. Madame Forman organizes their departure to Switzerland, but when she doesn't arrive to take them to their next checkpoint, Fanny must step up to lead everyone to safety.
