One of the more highly successful and popular films from the 2023 Winnipeg International Jewish Film Festival, Farewell Mr. Haffmann captures the story of Jeweler Joseph Haffmann who arranges for his family to flee occupied Paris in 1941 and offers his employee Francois Mercier the chance to take over his home and shop until the war’s end. As Mercier and his wife move into the Haffmann home, the agreement turns into a Faustian bargain, one that will forever change the fate of all… Rich in moral complexity with plot twists and turns to keep viewers on the edge of their seat, this is big-screen cinema at its finest.
