Bruno Brumhart a cinquante ans. L’heure des bilans. Sa vie ressemble à un long cauchemar : les ghettos, la déportation, les camps, l’errance. Et puis le temps précieux de la halte, dans un château près de Naples, avec les autres déportés. Lieu des désespoirs, des rages mais aussi de rires et d’humanité. Être ensemble pour retrouver l’envie d’exister. Et après ? Même seul, il faudra continuer.
