On her return from the camps, Charlotte Delbo invented a language to make visible what the women experienced, what they felt, in Auschwitz. "I consider the language of poetry as the most effective as it brings the reader to the secret part of himself", said this woman who joined the Resistance at the start, to explain why she chose to give a poetic form to a subject that is not: the unlimited use of the human individual as an instrument, death at work at every instant, a system that breaks away from the codes of humanity. This first film adaptation of Charlotte Delbo endeavors to reproduce one of the most powerful expressions that literature has provided up to now. Four voices off in polyphony echo from the heart of the original sites of the events. Mingling with the breath of Birkenau, they make the situations experienced present to us, at the same time transfigured and incarnated. See less
