Isaac Borojovich, born in Poland, lived the Nazi horror in three ghettos and six concentration camps, until his liberation from Bergen Belsen on April 15th 1945. Then he moved to Uruguay, where he began anew his life and, as so many other survivors, he kept his story silenced for more than 40 years. Eventually, when he published his memoirs, written by the director himself, Isaac discovers the possibility and the duty to pass on his legacy to the youths of today, in order to prevent the repetition of the Shoah.
