A short documentary. The story of the Sinigaglia family told through photographs, historical films, letters, diaries, and the memories of their descendants. In 1938, the racial laws excluded them from society, and after September 8, 1943, finding themselves in danger of their lives, they were forced to attempt to flee to Switzerland. During these difficult years, they were helped by a diverse network of friends, strangers, colleagues, partisans, and especially by their maid – 'Clelia' – who had lived with them since 1934 and did not hesitate to risk her own safety to contribute to their salvation.
