Spring 1989: Julien Kelsen, professor at the University of Freiburg, learns of the death of his father, who was murdered in his villa. Kelsen slowly picks apart his father’s story: the Second World War, the German occupation of Hungary, and the legacy and contradictions of a man who survived the turmoil of the 20th century.
