La der des der
When, one day, Simon Rosenberg, watching the news on TV, finds that the centenary of the First World War is celebrated, he painfully remembers that he made it ... And as he has gone well beyond a hundred years, he wonders if he is perhaps not one of the ultimate survivors, see the last ... who knows? Then he decides to show himself and speak to the press, he is alone, his children, his wife, died long ago, he hurts everywhere, he wants to leave this world ... But he is afraid. These celebrations awoke in him the smell of burnt human flesh, shattered bodies, cries, incessant bombardments, men who go mad, this suffering that eats the brain and the guts and that prevent sleeping for years. Simon who lives, reclusive, for so long, entangled in his guilt to have survived the hell, with the only company of a TV and a nurse who passes twice a day. Simon, who can not die, as if something kept him alive, as if he wanted to testify for posterity. Yes Simon wants to spill, but his biggest fear is that his testimony does not interest anyone! The war 14/18, is it still appealing to the younger generations? Simon has a secret he draws as a burden, only he knows he could have changed the fate of world history. That's what he wants to share, that's what he'll do. He will still have the strength to confront the arrogance of an inept editor with no depth of soul, who will show no empathy. And it is finally a woman, a journalist emeritus emerging from the diversity, with the character well tempered, Samia Zitouni, who will visit Simon, and who will realize that yes, you can change the sense of history of a simple Finger movement, just like a butterfly wing flapping can trigger a tornado on the other side of the earth.
