A Bag of Marbles (French: Un sac de billes) is a 2017 French drama film directed by Christian Duguay, based on the autobiographical novel A Bag of Marbles by Joseph Joffo.
[3] In occupied France during World War II, two young Jewish brothers, Maurice and Joseph, are sent by their parents to the Zone libre, and display courage, intelligence and ingenuity as they escape the occupiers and try to reunite their family.
At the very end of the film, Maurice and Joseph, who became barbers like their father, are shown in the present day (2017) in a Paris cafe.
[5] Hannah Brown of The Jerusalem Post called A Bag of Marbles "One of the best movies told about the holocaust from a child’s point of view".
[6] The film was shot in the south of France and in Žatec, Czech Republic.
