Autumn 1945: the Second World War has ended, but its atrocities remain etched in memory as the Nuremberg Trials open before the world. Among the witnesses, a woman stands before History. Her eyes fixed on those of the Nazi criminals. Resistance fighter Marie-Claude Vaillant-Couturier, known as Maïco, recounts her communist and anti-fascist commitment. Drawing on a treasure trove of archives, this documentary unfolds like an adventure novel about the life of a woman where courage vies with blindness.
