Israeli; Some Subtitles
Another of the multitude of important stories about the effects of the Holocaust on people. In this case we deal with the first and second generation of a Jewish family who don't want to deal with the horror, and the third generation children that want to understand the feeling and the events surrounding their grandparents experiences.
In this situation information is uncovered, by a Jewish grandchild, that his grandparents were very friendly (even after the war) with a German couple, where the husband was in the SS and was associated with Eichmann and instrumental in killing Jews. The movie essentially shows an emotional situation that can develop during traumatic events where many people don't want to look at the situation . . . either because they are too emotionally frightened . . . or they just don't care.
From Rotten Tomatoes:
At age 98, director Goldfinger's grandmother passed away, leaving him the task of clearing out the Tel Aviv flat that she and her husband shared for decades since immigrating from Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Sifting through a dense mountain of photos, letters, files, and objects, Goldfinger begins to uncover clues that seem to point to a greater mystery and soon a complicated family history unfolds before his camera. What starts to take shape reflects nothing less than the troubled and taboo story of three generations of Germans - both Jewish and non-Jewish - trying to piece together the puzzle of their lives in the aftermath of the terrible events of World War II.
