A young Jewish girl, Sarah, is looking to escape the clutches of the Third Reich after seeing her parents and sister brutally slain by a smuggler who betrayed them while attempting to escape to England.

Terrified, she is sheltered by her childhood friend Jean, a homosexual in a clandestine relationship with his lover Philippe.

They are safe for the moment, thanks to Jean's plan to pass her off as a Christian employee of his laundromat, under the name Yvonne.

A Love to Hide is the second film of director Christian Faure dealing with homosexuality.

The Variety Magazine felt the film was sometimes "over-rigged in script and direction" but nonetheless gave a positive review.
