From director Jonathan Glazer’s (Under the Skin), comes this breath-stopping Cannes award-winner — a hypnotic and strikingly original film that dismantles human darkness in the face of evil.
The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel, Babylon Berlin), and his wife Hedwig (2023 European Film Award winner Sandra Hüller, Anatomy of a Fall), strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.
With astonishing craftsmanship displayed by director and cast in each scene, the film brazenly confronts us with the banality of evil that leaves the viewer with a haunting warning on our passivity.
