Synopsis:
Simone Segre, a renowned surgeon of Jewish origins, lives in a city in the north-east of Italy. A quiet life, an elegant apartment and no connection with his past. One day he finds himself assisting a man victim of a hit and run accident. But when he discovers a Nazi tattoo on his chest, Simone abandons him to his destiny. Filled with guilt, he ends up tracing the man’s family: Marica, the eldest daughter; Marcello, a teenager plagued with racial hate; and little Paolo. The night will come when Marica knocks at Simone’s door and unknowingly asks for payback.
DJFF Film Review:
“This stylish, well-shot film takes on some interesting issues such as the effects of the Holocaust on the second generation and the resurgence of fascism, neo-Nazism, anti-Semitism, and anti-immigrant sentiment in Italy today. [While] I thought the plot…was pretty contrived; the ending… left me thinking.”
