Content

Francofonia is the story of two remarkabl men,
enemies then collaborators, who were the driving
force behind the preservation of the Louvre‘s treasures
during the Second World War. The film explores
the question of relations between art and power,
the museum as a living site of civilization and a piece
of German-French history.
