"Unforgettable".

---Marie-Claire

When he answers the phone, Louis recognizes a voice he hasn't heard in fifty years. Bernard was his childhood best friend. Now they're both old men, and the familiar voice on the other end of the line announces his visit, as if no time had past.

Louis thinks back on the past half-century, to where things started to go awry. The Germans have invaded France and both young men are in the Resistance. When Louis is captured by the Nazis in Paris, he is given the choice between saving his Jewish fiancée or betraying Bernard and his network. Louis choses his fiancée over his friend, but it turns out to be a trap, and he is sent to Buchenwald with Bernard and the members of his resistance network, who never suspect his treason. Together the friends survive the cruelties of the concentration camps. Many of their comrades do not.
