Synopsis: Can guilt be transmitted, like certain illnesses, from generation to generation? What effects can an unexplained fault have for the culprit but also for his descendants and his family? At the end of the Second World War, in the poisonous atmosphere of settling scores linked to collaboration, a woman is acquitted of a crime she may have committed. An anonymous tract addressed to his descendants brings this past trouble back to life.
