An american immigrant Julia Jarmond, now a successful journalist, a happy mother and wife is writing an article about the terrible day that took lives of thousands of jews who were arrested, kept at the stadium Vel' d'Hiv by force without any water or food and then taken to death camps like Auschwiz. She stumbles across a story of a jewish girl Sarah who was among those prisoners.
