Until dawn on July 16, 1942, when this fragile happiness is shattered... At 4 a.m., shouts and banging on doors. Men in black uniforms burst into apartments. Jo and his family are hauled out of their beds and herded onto buses... by French gendarmes! To the great despair of a community deeply attached to their new homeland. 13,000 Jews are crammed into the Winter Velodrome in Paris. The biggest round up in History perpetrated by.... French police! Five days without water, food or healthcare. Dr. Sheinbaum, (Jean Reno ) rounded-up with the others, does what he can.

It is only a few days later, when the death of Louis XV has made her Queen, that the young foreigner learns who the lovely unknown of the Opera really is. He leaves shortly afterwards. Four years later he returns to Paris as a Lieutenant in the Swedish dragons. The Queen invites him to Versailles. For fear of compromising the Queen, Fersen leaves for America. A tender correspondence then follows, of which the King is informed.
