The true story of how a young Québécois nun ended up a prisoner of war in Buchenwald and how her daughter came upon her secrets.

On this true story, Armande Martel, a young nun from Quebec, is arrested by the Germans in 1940 all the way through a stay at her religious order’s mother house in Brittany. She spends the war years in a German concentration camp. After her return to Canada, she leaves the Church, finds the love of her life in Montreal, and adopts Lise Dion.

Growing up, Lise is aware of only some facts of her mother’s past. It’s when she clears her mother’s small apartment after her death that Lise Dion discovers the important thing to the blue trunk, which used to be all the time locked. This key unlocks the mystery of Armande’s early life, and Lise comes to a decision to write down The Secret of the Blue Trunk.
