Three orphans of the 1942 deportation of Jews from France to Auschwitz and three survivors of the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda gather around a table in Paris. Their dialogue centres on the“afterwards”: how they grew up without parents and without roots and how, even today, they are haunted by a deep solitude that resulted from the traumatic events that changed their lives.
A film by Susan Solomon and Amélie Mutarabayire Schafer
