Warsaw, September 19, 1940: a Polish officer is captured during a raid by the German army. In reality, the SS have just fallen into a trap. This man has organized everything to be arrested. His name: Witold Pilecki. His mission: to be interned in Auschwitz, to infiltrate the death camp. This film traces the story of one of the greatest resistance fighters of WWII, through the compilation of reports that the infiltrator smuggled to London from the concentration camp where he was detained.

A documentary built on the mode of the crossed portrait in which we immerse ourselves in the daily life of 4 non-binary people: Ange, Sophie, Perséphone and Lou. Social integration, relationship to others, to family, to love, to the body: each speaker has a stake. Testimonies full of humanity, intelligence and sensitivity to understand and tell about a revolution in progress.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881-1938) was a Turkish field marshal, revolutionary statesman, author, and the founding father of the Republic of Turkey, serving as its first president from 1923 until his death in 1938.

Directed by Olivier Nicklaus.
