Synopsis

We owe the creation of the euro to a very small group of highly determined men and women. The main players among them tell us about the key moments of these long negotiations. As we experience the worst financial crisis the world has known for 80 years, and whose outcome is for now uncertain, looking back at this exemplary story is particularly enlightening. This crisis is, in fact, the baptism of fire for the euro.
