Bruno Ganz in his last role before his death in 2019. Touchingly and convincingly, this legendary actor from Zurich embodies the introverted Georg Goldsmith, who very reluctantly tells his son Martin about growing up under Nazi terror, fleeing to America and the death of those left behind. These interview scenes, based on the words of the real Georg Goldsmith, are supplemented with re-enacted scenes and documentary material. The result is a suspenseful realistic film about the influence of world history on the destinies of individuals.
