| In the 1940s, in a world ravaged by war, Charlotte, an eightyear- old Belgian girl, disappears from Nazi-occupied Liège, leaving behind her home and happy childhood. Together with her family, she flees from persecutors, experiencing incredible adventures and hiding in squalid hiding places in towns and cities. Alter, her uncle, forced to take up duties in one of the ghettos where Hitler ordered the confinement of Jews â including his own parentsâ must face an extreme ethical dilemma. Dimitri Amilakvari, a French soldier of Georgian origin, lands in North Africa at the head of the legendary Foreign Legion, to confront Marshal Rommel and his feared Afrika Korps. Domingo López Delgado, a Uruguayan soldier, enlists as a volunteer in the Free French forces and is assigned to Bir Hakeim. Four life stories that intertwine to transport us back in time. |
