Gargoyle

French resistance fighter Violette Bonheur and her husband Henri have been captured by the Gestapo in the thick of WWII, and are under interrogation about some stolen dynamite. To get them talking, the Germans decide to raid a nearby children’s home, aware that the Bonheur’s have two daughters residing there: 10 year-old Matilda and 7 year- old Isabelle. But when the Nazis show up, the two brave Bonheur daughters manage to slip away, into the nearby forest. Having grown up hearing stories about a powerful and heroic golem, the two young girls put aside their fears and enter the old stone walls of an abandoned castle in search of food. In doing so, they have a terrifying encounter with a dark, winged creature and realize the stories are true. But the creature is no golem, it is a prince who was long ago cursed and turned into a gargoyle by an enchantress living in the mountains. Hoping the gargoyle can protect them, like the golem of Jewish lore, Matilda and Isabelle offer to help the prince lift his curse. Meanwhile, their parents race to find and rescue their little girls and the other Jewish children before they’re taken away via train to Nazi concentration camps. Both halves of this brave family carry out their own high-stakes mission as they take the fight to the Nazis, with their stories weaving together toward a gripping and action-packed showdown between good and evil.
