Watch it. This is a thoughtful companion piece to 'Wonder' that trades middle school drama for meaningful intergenerational storytelling, pairing a redemption arc with a powerful WWII narrative that feels earned rather than preachy. It's exactly the kind of character-driven, values-focused film that deserves your attention tonight.

Plot

After being expelled from Beecher Prep for his treatment of a classmate with a facial deformity, Julian has struggled to fit in at his new school. To transform his life, Julian's grandmother finally reveals her own story of courage of her youth in Nazi-occupied France, where a classmate shelters her from mortal danger.
