A love to hide

I rented this film from Lovefilm.  It is set in occupied Paris during the second world war, and tells the tale of a gay couple who take in a young jewish woman and protect her from Nazi persecution.  I found it a gentle film portraying some of the agonising decisions that had to be taken at the time, and the unforeseen consequences of actions.  The family of one of the men runs a successful local laundry, and there are various members of his family who are involved in the story, the main one being his brother.
