A profound story of love and loss, Letters from Drancy illuminates the power of an unbreakable bond between mother and daughter during the Holocaust. Viewers accompany Marion Deichmann’s daring childhood journey across the borders of Northern Europe, her painful separation from her mother, her escape with the help of the French Resistance in Paris, and her survival of D-Day in Normandy.
Filmed on location in Paris and Normandy in France, Marion’s story has been brought to life using 360 video technology alongside 3D environments, animation, motion capture and a spatial soundtrack.
Marion’s story is one full of emotion, loss and longing, but ultimately love. A love that has endured throughout her whole life.
