CGiii Comment
Few films have dealt with this subject matter - gay persecution during the 2nd War - Bent being the most notable - well, no longer.
Where Bent failed, and it failed on so many levels, Love to Hide makes up for it a hundredfold.
A human story of inhumanity devoid of pointless artistic pretension...with a refreshingly straightforward narrative.
It has all the seasons in one story - a travelogue of beauty and heartache.
A profoundly moving benchmark.

The(ir) Blurb...
A young Jewish girl looking to escape the clutches of the Third Reich after seeing her parents and sister brutally slain while attempting to make their way to England is sheltered by an old friend whose status as a member of the "third" sex soon leads the Gestapo pounding on his door as well. Betrayed by a smuggler who sat idly by as her family was casually slaughtered by the SS, terrified Sara flees into the comforting care of childhood summer-vacation chum Jean and his faithful lover Philippe. Though safe for the moment thanks to Jean's quick-thinking plan to pass her off as a Gallic employee of his family's laundry business, Sara watches in horror as her homosexual protector is forced into a Nazi labor camp as a tragic result of a bad decision made by Jean's troublesome brother Jacques.
