Roesch NJJFF: The Future Awaits
In 1942 Paris, 13-year-old Tauba and her family must hide in a six-square-meter room to survive the Nazis.
Director: Nils Tavernier
2025, France, 91 minutes
French with English subtitles
Feature
July 1942 roundups of Parisian Jews lead 13-year-old Tauba and her parents to hide in a tiny room, only six square meters wide. What was meant to be a temporary refuge stretches into 765 days of confinement, during which the family faces crushing fear, scarcity, and the constant threat of discovery.
Based on a true story, The Future Awaits is a suspenseful drama of hope and resilience, centered on a remarkable performance by Violette Guillon as Tauba. Winner of the Holocaust Representation Award at the 2025 Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival.
