A Love to Hide (Un amour a taire)
As a part of STI (Social Transformation of India) course we had third movie screening today. It was a French movie "A love to hide". What follows is a little introduction that i picked from Flixster, of the movie.
A young Jewish girl looking to escape the clutches of the Third Reich after seeing her parents and sister brutally slain while attempting to make their way to England is sheltered by an old friend whose status as a member of the "third" sex soon leads the Gestapo pounding on his door as well. Betrayed by a smuggler who sat idly by as her family was casually slaughtered by the SS, terrified Sara flees into the comforting care of childhood summer-vacation chum Jean and his faithful lover Philippe. Though safe for the moment thanks to Jean's quick-thinking plan to pass her off as a Gallic employee of his family's laundry business, Sara watches in horror as her homosexual protector is forced into a Nazi labor camp as a tragic result of a bad decision made by Jean's troublesome brother Jacques.
I strongly recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get an insight into the taboo that is associated with homosexuality and its origin. I admire and respect the Rainbow flag. Let me end with a thought question - why do we use term like "straight" for heterosexuals?
