A documentary film recounting an exploration of the symbolic places of painful memory of the 20th Century

From the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp to the Plaszow concentration camp, from the peace of the Niepolomice Forest in Poland to “Platform 21” in Milan from where the trains left with deportees to the Fosse Ardeatine in Rome, symbol of resistance to Nazi-Fascism. The stories of men and women who have suffered from the most atrocious evil are told by children and grandchildren, themselves the victims of pain.
