Synopsis

From a few objects gathered in two boxes, the director goes in search of the memory of his grandparents whom he never knew. Their traces found in police reports, general information and administrative letters reveal a collective destiny remaining in the shadow of the family memory: with the war, a very large number of French and foreign Jewish refugees arrived in Limoges. A whole world is organized during the turmoil, a community of destiny is set up. Through places, archives and the last witnesses found, all these fragments echo the singular journey of a couple in the war between solidarity, mutual aid and resistance.
