The siblings Camille and Lucas are supposed to clear out the attic of their parents' house in Alsace. Little motivated, they get to work, but when they discover documents and certificates of their German-French family history from the last century in the dusty boxes, their curiosity is piqued. Especially regarding the generation of their great-grandparents, surprising things come to light and can only be pieced together into a complete picture with some detective skill.
Camille, who studies history, can contribute some knowledge to categorize the finds and at least partially reconstruct the life stories. Gradually, the siblings uncover well-hidden family secrets. Their mother is also forced to confront the fractures in their family history.

Not only are the German-French relations during the Second World War highlighted, but also exemplary fates of people who found their final peace in Niederbronn-les-Bains...

How do young people today deal with the shocking experiences, the behavior, and the actions of their ancestors? How do they confront this heritage? How do they utilize the means of the digital world for this? And what conclusions do they draw from it?

Vergissmeinnicht is made possible by the announcement of the International Youth Encounter and Educational Center Albert Schweitzer – Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge, Niederbronn-les-Bains.

Support the peace project "1 Million Graves – 1 Million Fates" of our cooperation partner Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge e. V.
