The concentration camp for women in Brens, southwest France, existed from 1942 to 1944. Three women from different backgrounds - Arlette, Nuria and Angelita - recount the time they spent in the camp. Arlette was picked up at random by the Vichy police. Angelita was arrested for conspiracy against Marshal Pétain, while Nuria fell victim to her status as a Spanish refugee. They co-habited with women from all over Europe - Jews, activists, prostitutes - separated into wooden huts by nationality. A difficult period, being locked up at the age of 20. Surprisingly, their recollections are primarily of friendship, affection and creativity in bleak times. A tribute to the solidarity and moments of friendship that are essential to surviving such an ordeal.
