Synopsis "El no de Klara (in Spanish)"

Cuando en el verano de 1945 Klara regresa a París, todavía lleva grabado en la piel el tatuaje de Auschwitz. Angélika la ha acogido en su casa y ella le va revelando, día tras día, todo el horror que ha vivido. En la historia de Klara no hay lamentaciones, sólo frialdad, fuerza y violencia, estupor, rabia e incapacidad para aceptar los códigos de la vida cotidiana.
