1967. Franz, a German soldier, returns to France to show his wife around Basque country. There, in the inn where he lived during the war 25 years earlier, he stumbles upon Léo! The unexpected encounter causes deeply-buried memories to resurface in the French woman's mind. During the Second World War, Léo was a waitress in the family inn, which had been requisitioned by German officers. She fell in love with Felix, a friend and fellow soldier of Franz. Although she wore the mask of indifference towards the occupier, Léo had a passionate affair with Felix. Mayana Itoïz's first graphic novel tells us with tenderness and sensitivity a very personal story, that of her grandmother who fell in love with a German soldier during the Second World War.
