Promessa ao Amanhecer

I enjoyed very much this film based on the novel "La Promesse de l'Aube " of Romain Gary. A beautiful story about the complicated and touching relationship of Romain and his mother Nina who wants that her son becomes the ambassador of France and a great writer.

So we follow Romain and Nina in Vilnius and later Varsaw, the childhood of Romain-the first love with Valentina-, the business of his mother and the antisemitism. The travel to Nice, the beginning of the writing,and then the Second World Wae- the troubles of Romain because of his Jew origin., Romain joining the French Liberation army, the stay in Africa and later his engagement in the French Liberation army.

I enjoyed very much the perfomances of Pierre Niney,Charlotte Gaisbourg, Didier Bourdon, Jean-Pierre Droussin and Catherine Mc Cormack.
