- Synopsis
- On December 12th 1944, a hand-made card in shape of heart was offered to Fania who was celebrating her 20th birthday...in Auschwitz. It contains the wishes of its authors who made it at the risk of losing their lives. In the heart of evil, they committed a crime of compassion. In his attempt to find the authors, the filmmaker, Carl Leblanc, tries to bring the women's beautiful gesture back to life.
