A story about a German family during World War II with every family member having a different approach to Jews, raging from hatred to compassion.
Acting
Budzisz-Krzyżanowska's Adela — compassion as radical resistance.
Writing
No heroes, no villains — just cowards, zealots, and trapped souls.
Director
Zbigniew Kaminski
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Poland's post-communist reckoning with WWII memory, it reflects uniquely Polish-German tensions rarely explored in Western Holocaust cinema.
Director Kaminski was primarily a cinematographer; this was his only feature as director, shot on a shoestring budget that forced the single-location intensity.
