Born in 1939 in Berlin, Beate Künzel, a Lutheran German, daughter of a soldier of the Wehrmacht, meets at the age of twenty, by chance at a Parisian metro station, Serge Klarsfeld, a French Jew, an orphan of a father who died in deportation. It is the beginning of a love and adventure story that will take them from Chile to Auschwitz, from Venice to Cologne, from Nice to La Paz, and from prisons to courtrooms.
