While trying to unravel the mystery behind the photo, the students face a journey through the memory of a painful past, namely that of the roundup of the Jewish quarter of Rome. And while belonging to different religions, they try to make it an opportunity for collective reflection by walking together in their first existential, personal, cultural commitment.
