Synopsis:

Performed by two actresses, this film evokes the experience of two women who as children were imprisoned in concentration camps. Sarah in nazi-camps, Leïla in Japanese camps. The film-maker was a witness of their meeting and confidential discussion of past and present events. With their agreement, he decided to record their meeting on film. Narration in which the laugh wasn't absent. Their stories are true. Only their names have been changed.

This film deals with the experiences of children in concentration camps. The more so because it discloses, above all, circumstances that have hitherto been almost completely untold, namely the fate of children in the camps under the Japanese occupation during World War II. It's a meeting between two women who, when children, were prisoners in concentration camps. One of them was deported to Auschwitz when she was 13 and remained there for two years; the other was interned in a Japanese camp in Indonesia when she was 11 and stayed there for more than three years. The two women talk, each reliving their experiences through a child's heart and soul.
