Generations of a French Jewish family face history's shadows.
Set in 1944 Paris, a Jewish couple anxiously awaits word on their missing relatives. Generations later, their great-grandchildren confront the same fear: "Are we safe?" Prayer for the French Republic traces five generations of a French Jewish family, offering a profound exploration of history, belonging, and the enduring impact of age-old hatred.
