“Every story must be told. No matter how painful it is.”
Prominent Austrian reporter Martin Pollack investigates the brutal actions of his biological father, whom he never knew. The courage to "look into the abyss" is given to Pollack by a sincere desire to restore the face of innocent people whose blood rested on his father's hands. As the commander of the murderous Sonderkommando 7a, he worked in Slovakia at the end of the war. We follow in the reporter's footsteps with the Slovak translator Michal Hvorecký.
In the light of today and the 80th anniversary of the SNP, we uncover historical connections and discover the places of senseless purges that were behind the sick Nazi ideology.
