1954-1962: Algerian War.
HE, like 1,343,000 young French men in his twenties, is mobilized to Algeria for his military service.
For months, SHE remains alone, on the other side of the Mediterranean: just engaged, newly married or a young mother.

We tell the story of this broken youth through a choral narrative, collected in several regions of France, from women and men who agreed to go back to the first years of their love, and to the still vivid memory of what was their Algerian war.
