Tibor and Niki, father and daughter. The young girl was only five years old when they last saw each other, before Tibor was sent to prison. He is released seven years later and tries not to think about the past. Yet he can’t erase his daughter from his life and so they are compelled to start over from the beginning. Both are irresistibly charismatic, headstrong and irascible, but also determined to find a way back to one another.

1942年ナチス占領下のパリ、ユダヤ人は胸に黄色い星をつけるよう義務付けられ、公園や映画館、遊園地への立ち入りが禁じられていた。それでも11歳のジョーと家族、隣人たちは、ささやかな暮らしは続くと信じていた。同年7月16日、フランス警察によるユダヤ人一斉検挙が始まり、およそ1万3,000人もの人々がヴェル・ディヴ（冬季競輪場）へと送られる。
