They are waiting: angry Leopold, Marie-Antoinette the magician, André who turns whatever he touches to gold, and Michel, who doesn't understand a thing. Every morning in the summer of 1945, they meet up at the Hotel Lutetia, where survivors from the Nazi concentration camps are filtering in. Maybe their parents will be among them? Between tears, silence, and fits of laughter, they share their stories, hopes, and fears... and their longing to live.
