First, there's this strange sensation on a hot summer morning. As if time had suddenly frozen. As if History was reclaiming its rights. Simone Veil enters the Panthéon, with her husband Antoine. Camille's story, however, is just beginning. Invited to speak about Simone Veil on a radio show, she sets out in search of her student memories. Unless these are the memories of an entire generation, which grew up with the struggles of this extraordinary woman. Through the eyes of this young woman, the extraordinary life of Simone Veil suddenly appears, strikingly modern. How does one find the strength to dedicate one's life to political struggles? How does one receive this legacy?
