Au revoir, les enfants

(Redirected from Au revoir les enfants)

Au revoir, les enfants (French: Goodbye children) is a novel written by Louis Malle in 1987 in the form of a screenplay, and became a film in the same year.


The novel mirrors the childhood of the author. It is about a young boy named Julien Quentin, who goes to a boarding school during World War II, and befriends a boy named Jean Bonnet. It is later learned that Bonnet is Jewish, and is hiding from the German soldiers at the school. At the end of the book, Bonnet is captured by German soldiers and taken to a concentration camp and killed.
