Synopsis
The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp. The film portrays the idyllic life that the family of the Nazi commandant enjoyed in a sumptuous house next to the concentration camp right in the middle of the Holocaust.

It’s a claustrophobic and uncomfortable viewing experience because it doesn’t ask for our sympathy—it confronts us with our passivity
Joey Shapiro, Chicago Reader
