Synopsis

Coming of age in 1960s Paris, Bernard Applebaum exists in the hazy shadow of the Holocaust and on the electric cusp of the French New Wave. The narrator of Wide Awake can be found as he wanders the city streets in search of signs of his father, who was deported by the Nazis in 1942. Bernard's chance encounter with a former acquaintance who has become filmmaker Francois Truffaut's assistant leads to a spot as an extra on the set of Jules and Jim - setting into motion a series of discoveries and lost memories that crack open a hidden past.
