The tragedy of the children in the dramatic dimension of Auschwitz concentration camp is conveyed by the survivors; testimonies who at the time were just small children. Their memories, vivid yet blurred, are the pieces of a painful and complex puzzle whose image portrays the atrocities of the extermination camps by means of a strong narration. The medical experimentation on children is led by Doctor Mengele - known as the angel of death - and a series of events will bring Sergio to step forward towards what will be the last deceit. In the illusion to meet his mother again, Sergio meets instead the most terrible experimentation and in the end death, together with other nineteen children in the basement of Bullenhuser Damm school in Hamburg.
