But the teenager is curious and decides to find out more about Simone Veil’s youth, resolving to pay tribute to her with a letter. She discovers another side of the late politician: that of an impatient young girl who stood up to those around her, and with whom she could have been friends. Mona follows Simone in the sunny city of Nice, in the camps until liberation, up until the right to abortion. Perhaps she will discover her grandmother’s secrets.
