Ferry sees his adolescent dreams suddenly interrupted by the rise of Nazism in Germany, the occupation of his country and the arrest of many neighbors.
His father dies en route to a concentration camp and Ferry flees through Europe with two friends, finally arriving in marseille from where he escapes to America.
