The dramatic journey of a Jewish family through the bleak moments of the twentieth century. The chronicle of a society that is crushed and emerges from its ruins. The tempestuous story of little Joseph, as recorded in a nighttime tale: Thessaloniki, 1917. Flames engulf the Jewish quarter. Benuta and her children are at home. 

A Gypsy, Angelis, rescues them at the last moment. He takes them to his camp, far from the destruction. A large part of the city is destroyed. A precious jewel is saved. An heirloom that connects people and events. Jews and Gypsies. Two peoples with different worldviews but a common destiny. War, Nazi atrocities, Auschwitz. The harsh pages of the Holocaust. The odyssey of a bracelet.
