When Sofia finds an old photograph and letter in a neglected suitcase, she is determined she will uncover the truth and tell the little girl’s story, bringing together an interfaith group of teenagers. The past interlaces with the present as they undertake this journey through the history of Rome’s Jewish ghetto and the fate of a little girl, in this story about the importance of memory and coexistence.
