Max et les poissons

His name is Max. A good student, Max received a prize for academic excellence. His prize: a goldfish. 

Max is 8 years old - well, almost. His birthday is on 16th July 1942, but on that day a much more important event occurs. 

From Vel d’Hiv to the Drancy internment camp, from the camp to the countryside where he learns how to fish, Max goes through the Second World War at the pace of his young age - with his fish as his lucky star.
