Anna is nine years old. Her life is peaceful and comfortable, spent mostly in Paris. She attends a Catholic school and lives at home with her parents, Marie and Fernando, her nanny and her younger brother, François. She sometimes goes to Bordeaux, where her mother’s parents have a vineyard. Soon, her well-ordered existence is going to get complicated. Her communist uncle gets arrested, a trip to Chile, meetings with strange people: events the importance of which Anna cannot grasp, but which are going to transform the lives of her parents deeply. Political commitment, altruism, the fight against imperialism, feminism, elections: keywords that from now on will punctuate the lives of Marie and Fernando. For Anna, her parents’ newfound fervor finds expression in other words and events: moving, disorganization, changing nannies, a smaller apartment, and new faces. Like her parents, Anna also changes, but in a different way. Anna grows up and accepts this new world, all the while looking at what surrounds her in her own personal way.
