What is Promise at Dawn about? Toggle content

From the ruins of war-torn Europe to the sun-kissed streets of Nice, Promise at Dawn tells the captivating story of Romain Gary, a man who defied fate to become one of France's most celebrated writers. Born to a Jewish family in Poland, Romain faced unimaginable hardships from a young age, but his unbreakable bond with his mother Nina kept him alive. As he grew older, Romain's thirst for adventure led him to enlist in the French Air Force during World War II, where he distinguished himself as a pilot. After the war, he became a diplomat and later a celebrated author, winning the prestigious Goncourt Prize twice. But behind his success lay a mother's unwavering devotion and a lifelong burden that threatened to consume him. Based on Gary's autobiographical novel, Promise at Dawn is a sweeping tale of love, war, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and son.
