Inspired by the tragedy of Fântâna Albă on April 1, 1941, the film recounts the fate of a Romanian community in Bessarabia, massacred in a desperate attempt to find refuge from the Soviet occupation. The testimony of a survivor of this genocide questions the very notion of historical truth and reveals forgotten traumas with potentially devastating consequences today.
