The film concentrates more on the period spent in hospital than the original novel, and emphasizes the horror of the friends' injuries. On Adrien's arrival at the ward, all the mirrors are removed and staff are instructed not to give any to him, but we see from the expressions on the faces of others just how bad the damage is. Adrien becomes increasingly desperate to see the damage done to his face, even asking a visitor to draw a picture of him. Dupeyron ensures that we do not see the horrifying extent of Adrien's injuries until the moment that he himself does - by looking at his reflection in a window pane.

Au mois de juin 1940, alors que les troupes allemandes envahissaient le territoire français, eut lieu "la plus grande action de sauvetage menée par une seule personne pendant l'Holocauste" : plus de trente mille personnes, dont dix mille juifs, purent en effet échapper à la barbarie nazie. Un homme seul, bravant sa hiérarchie et les ordres du dictateur Salazar, choisit en son âme et conscience de permettre à des dizaines de milliers de réfugiés de rejoindre son pays, le Portugal, en organisant une distribution de visas ininterrompue pendant plusieurs jours. Cet homme, c'est Aristides de Sousa Mendes, consul de Bordeaux.

In France during the German occupation, a young German naval officer is killed in Paris by a group of leftist activists. The compliant Vichy government seeks to appease the Germans by locating the perpetrators and agreeing to the execution of six people, and a special section is set up for this purpose. The section consists of judges who are too ambitious, cowardly or inhuman to refuse such work. The flames of totalitarianism must be stoked, even with innocent blood, and it is especially convenient to the government if the accused are thoroughly expendable in their eyes.
