Paris, 1943. Justin tiene veintidós años. Ama a
Renée y quiere casarse con ella. Pero el gobierno de Vichy, para abastecer la
mano de obra que el ocupante nazi reclama, crea el STO, el Servicio de Trabajo
Obligatorio. Como centenares de miles de jóvenes franceses, Justin se ve
obligado a partir a Alemania. Ninguno sabe qué les espera allí. Toda su vida,
Justin se arrepentirá de haber obedecido a Vichy. Pero, ¿acaso tenía otra opción?

“Este álbum de Julien Frey y Nadar es uno de los primeros en evocar la terrible realidad del STO. En blanco y negro, dibujado con una perfecta sobriedad y escrito con concisión, el libro consigue retratar todo el peso de un pasado terrible.”
