How do young people today deal with the shocking experiences, behaviors, and actions of their ancestors? How do they confront this legacy?

Siblings Camille and Lucas are tasked with clearing out the attic of their parents' house in Alsace. Lacking motivation, they begin their work, but when they discover documents and testimonies of their German-French family history from the last century in the dusty boxes, their curiosity is piqued. Especially surprising revelations about the generation of their great-grandparents emerge, which can only be pieced together with some detective skills. Lucas, who is studying history, can contribute knowledge to contextualize the findings and at least partially reconstruct the life stories. Gradually, the siblings unearth well-hidden family secrets. Their mother is also forced to confront the fractures in her family history. Not only are the German-French relations during World War II illuminated, but exemplary fates of people, such as those who found their final peace in Niederbronn-les-Bains, are also explored...

Vergissmeinnicht is made possible by the call for the international meeting place Albert Schweitzer - Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge, Niederbronn-les-Bains.
