July 1942. Maurice Gutman, 12 years old, is taken to the hospital in Garches for a broken leg. He narrowly avoids the raid that will take his family. At the hospital, Doctor Daviel diagnosed him with tuberculosis and imposed a long treatment. But was it just a ruse to avoid the young boy being deported? Maurice and eight other young boarders will live, with the hospital staff, an unforgettable experience, made of friendship, solidarity and extraordinary courage. They are the children of luck and their story is true.
