Marcus J.Carney sets out on an eight-year journey to find both his own past and that of his mother and grandmother, who come from an Austrian Nazi family. The film is a collage of unique testimonies from the descendants of a Nazi criminal. During his mother's dying moments, the director begins to view with greater understanding how she turned a blind eye to the actions of her family members, which contributed to a tragedy that affected the whole of Europe. Nevertheless, even at this moment, he definitely doesn't lose his sound judgement. By linking the private and public spheres, the film offers a proof of how the behaviour of individuals has an influence on the powerful cycle of history.
