“Boris Lehman was born during the war in Lausanne, where his parents were refugees in transit – a Polish emigré in Europe. 40 years later, he is a film maker in Brussels. With only a few souvenirs (photos and letters), he returns in search of his identity, a groping for roots, as he explores the area, registers and newspapers of the time, reels from the Cine-Journal, looking for clues in a house, the synagogue, the Jewish cemetery, an old person.” (Freddy Buache)
