Synopsis

"In 1942, my grandmother had to leave her village in Russia burned down by the German army. She was 25 years old. She died thirty-six years later here in Limousin. I was 10 years old. , I don't know much about her. 65 years later, I went there. I wanted to break out of the silence. Bring back sounds, images that could have been hers, try to find what she had left, what was lost, what was unknown to me, what nevertheless belonged to me and which meant that somewhere I was a stranger to part of myself ".
