"White Bird" opens with Julian attending a prestigious preparatory school in Manhattan, where he experiences a delayed confrontation with his own vulnerabilities, instigated by a bully who informs him in the lunchroom that he occupies the “loser’s table.” This encounter leaves him feeling preemptively excluded, leading to an obsession with the desire to “fit in” and achieve a sense of “normalcy,” which he interprets as being neither “mean nor nice.” His Grandmère Sara, visiting New York for an art exhibition, recounts a story that forms the core of the film, detailing an event from 1942 in an Alsatian region that, while not officially under Nazi occupation, is close enough to feel the encroaching threat. The narrative centers on fifteen-year-old Sara, a Jewish girl whose parents are in denial about their ability to evade persecution as the Nazi presence intensifies.
