A false accusation once broke the life of 12-year-old Pascal. Today, his grown-up daughter, who is the film director, tries to find out about the story of her father, including the years of torment and humiliation he spent at a juvenile detention centre. At the most dramatic moments the father is confronted with the documents unknown to him so far and stands face to face with the man who was among those causing his suffering.
