Frech und feurig leuchtete noch mit 90 Jahren rote Farbe auf ihren wilden Haaren: Die KZ-Überlebende und Autorin Marceline Loridan-Ivens war zu lebendig, um sich als Denkmal zu fühlen. Geboren in Paris als Marceline Rozenberg, wurde sie mit 15 Jahren gemeinsam mit ihrem Vater 1943 nach Polen deportiert. Er Auschwitz, sie Birkenau. Mit ihrem Roman "Und Du bist nicht zurückgekommen" hielt sie die Erinnerung an ihn wach. In dem feinfühligen Film wird die alte Dame kurz vor ihrem Tod im September 2018 sowohl in ihrem Alltag als auch bei der Aufarbeitung ihrer Tagebücher beobachtet.
