Monsieur Batignole

Edmond Batignole, an apolitical grocer, lives in a small flat in the building where his shop is located in an occupied Paris in 1942 with his wife and daughter. They move to the confiscated residence after his future son-in-law and German collaborator Pierre-Jean Lamour summons the Nazis to arrest the Jewish Bernstein family. After eluding the Germans for a few days, young Simon Bernstein returns to his childhood home. When Batignole discovers him, he feels sorry for him and takes him in, keeping Simon hidden from Pierre-Jean and his wife. Simon is later approached by two relatives in the grocery's cellar. Batignole plans to travel to Switzerland with the children after Pierre-Jean discovers them.
