US PREMIERE

On January 20, 1942, high-ranking representatives of the German Nazi regime met in an idyllic villa on the Great Wannsee in the southwest of Berlin for a meeting that went down in history as the Wannsee Conference, because of its disastrous consequences perhaps the most terrible conference of human history. Present are 15 leading men of the SS, the NSDAP and the ministerial bureaucracy. They were invited by Reinhard Heydrich, head of the security police and SD, to a "meeting followed by breakfast". The exclusive topic of the approximately 90-minute discussion is what the National Socialists called the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question", which means the bureaucratically strictly planned organization of the systematic mass murder of millions of Jews from all over Europe. A fictionalized TV film on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the historical event, based on the minutes of the meeting written by Adolf Eichmann at the time.

A historically accurate, haunting drama about a meeting that was part of planning the Holocaust. The film follows the protocol of this meeting. It was shot at the original location at Wannsee Lake in Berlin and produced by Constantin Television GmbH for the 80th commemoration day of the conference in 2022. It stars some of the most well-known German-speaking actors in the lead roles: Philipp Hochmair („The Experiment“), Johannes Allmayer („Colonia Dignidad“), Maximilian Brückner („Cherryblossoms“), Thomas Loibl („Toni Erdmann“) and Rafael Stachowiak („Undine“).
