First, there's the strange sensation of a warm summer's morning. As if time had suddenly stood still. As if history had taken its rightful place.
Simone Veil enters the Panthéon, with her husband Antoine.

Camille's story is just beginning. Called upon to speak about Simone Veil on a radio program, she goes in search of her student memories. Or perhaps it's the memories of an entire generation, which grew up with the struggles of this extraordinary woman.
As the radio program progresses, a conversation develops between these two women, like a dialogue between two generations. How does one find the strength to devote one's life to political struggles? How does one receive this legacy?

Simone Veil's words stand the test of time. Her words are addressed to future generations, and - against all odds - she looks to the future with confidence.
