Back to the Fatherland

Gil and Kat are friends since their college days in New York. Gil is from Israel and the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, Kat the grandchild of a Nazi officer. Despite these substantial differences in their background they developed a close friendship. In their quest to move beyond their families’ legacies we meet Dan and Guy, two young Israelis, whose decision to live in Austria and Germany has affected their relationship with their grandparents, friends and families. The film deals with the third generation on both sides of the historic tragedy and with the attempt to build their own future without ignoring the past.
