Successful lawyer Victor realises that his mother Rivka (Jean Moreau) has never told him anything or tried to explain about the deportation of her Russian Jewish parents. Raised Catholic like their father, Victor and his sister, Tania, know nothing of their mother's wartime past.
It's 1987, and the Barbie trial has all of France in a reflective mood, reconsidering the parts they or their parents played during the Nazi occupation and whether they could have, or should have, done more to ward off the encroaching evil. Victor confronts his mother as he has found a document his father once signed declaring his family to be "Aryan." His sister insists that those kinds of declarations were compulsory, and his wife also warns, "You can't change history." Unable to get direct answers from his aged mother, Victor tries to put together the missing pieces of his family history.
This mesmerizing almost Proustian meditation has more to do with the present than the past; more to do with how we can keep on living and loving each other, knowing the things we know, than about who was courageous and who was cowardly in the 1940s.
Based on Jérôme Clément’s book "Plus Tard, Tu Comprendras "
