Toni - We Are Family

My grandfather chose to serve in the elite Waffen-SS. When my mother reveals this long-hidden family secret, I dive deep into a legacy preserved but never examined with a critical eye. Letters, documents, photos become intimate portals into an unknown past of love, violence, fragile dreams and great disillusion. Through investigations in archives and on location, interviews and emotional confrontations, my search for truth brings to light biographical ruptures, ambivalences and entanglements in Nazi terror. New certainties force us finally to face repression, guilt and fear of painful discoveries, all passed down through generations.
