For a long time, the younger ones dispersed. Mathieu lives and prospers in Algeria with his wife and children. In Switzerland, Lucie worries for her German husband and their son. Charles and his fiancee Mathilde, both teachers, have been appointed for several hundred kilometers. As for Louise, the youngest, she dreamed of becoming a missionary in Africa.

War comes, and it will change the course of their lives ...
