Un hombre de paso

A hotel in Italy. A historic meeting. A journalist goes to interview Maurice Rossell, a former International Red Cross officer who visited Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The interview is attended by an exceptional witness: Primo Levi, an Italian-Jewish writer and survivor of those camps. The experience and testimony of both men in the face of the same reality is diametrically opposed, to the point where the journalist (and the viewer) will wonder what it was that Rossel saw to make reports that turned out to be completely wrong. Do we see what is presented before our eyes or do we only see what we want to see? A question that is still absolutely topical.
