Schächten

 

Justice catches up, even if justice doesn’t.

In 1960s Austria, the son of a Jewish entrepreneur—Holocaust survivor, Victor Dessauer—is unable to bring his parents’ Nazi torturer to justice. He decides to take the law into his own hands. The film is a story of revenge and retribution, but also the story of how many Nazis were seemingly returned to respected positions in the young Republic of Austria.

Not ZsiFi’s easiest film.
