Handsome widescreen cinematography, a resplendent score, gorgeous period costumes, a sumptuous tale of romance and suspense. Anne has a very active imagination, only natural for a writer. After her mother's death, Anne discovers old photos and letters that convince her to take a closer look at the life of her parents. The young couple met in the concentration camps during WWII, later moving to France to start their new life together. Soon, Anne's research into their Jewish history and their ties to Lyon's communist party reveals the existence of a mysterious uncle, Jean, whom everyone seems intent on forgetting entirely. In a journey that stretches from post-war France to the 1980s, Anne's destiny intertwines with her father's past until they form a single, unforgettable story.
