The Future Awaits

The film unfolds in July 1942 during the Vel’ d’Hiv’ Roundup of Jewish families in Paris. It centers on 13-year-old Tauba Birenbaum, a Polish Jew, who seeks refuge with her parents in a cramped room for 765 days. As her parents succumb to despair, Tauba's fighting spirit and joy in small things provide a stark contrast to their dire circumstances.

With a runtime of 93 minutes, The Future Awaits highlights the struggles and resilience of those living under Nazi occupation in occupied France from 1940 to 1944. The film captures the essence of hope and memory through Tauba’s journey as she navigates extreme challenges and fights for her life until the liberation of Paris.
