It tells her journey to discover the history of the Drancy camp, the biggest internment camp in France, where the majority of French Jews were detained before being deported to the death camps during the Second World War. "I discovered that the Drancy Camp still existed while filming my previous documentary "Rivka's Tribe". I was convinced that it had been destroyed more than half a century ago. When I got there, I was overwhelmed to see that the old camp intact and that people were living in this pace haunted by grief." Her quest for answers lasted three years.
