Brussels, summer of 42. Young Simon witness horrified his father being arrested and deported by the Nazis. Simon manages to escape to England where he’ll be living with his grandfather Abraham, an austere and distant person. In this exile, Simon doesn’t find any support from Abraham ; this old cultured man attached to the values of the Jew tradition despites Simon’s laic up-brings.
