May 1944, in Provence, a young Jewish woman fleeing Nazi persecution, entrusts her three-month-old granddaughter to a stranger, Mathieu, a solitary shepherd who will raise her alone. Once the war is over, he will leave with her, in search of the mother. A research that will last more than twenty years and that will lead them to several European countries.
Directed by François Billetdoux, Guy Casaril
