To write her film, Aurélie Saada inspired by a true story, that of his grandmother.
While organizing a dinner at her house, among her guests are the last grandmother of her family who had just lost her husband and Marceline Loridan-Ivens, survivor of the camps who was in the same convoy as Simone Veil for Auschwitz.
The first, plunged into deep sadness, is totally upset by the vision of the second, a free and alive woman. It is the beginning of a reflection on the fact that maybe his life wasn’t over and that there were things to go through yet … That maybe she was not just a mother, a grandmother and a widow but that she was also a woman.
Once the guests left, Aurélie Saada wrote Rose’s story!
