In the late 1940s, a significant number of Holocaust survivors sought refuge in Australia, making their journey by boat. Remarkably, these same boats carried thousands of Nazis and Nazi collaborators from the Baltic and various other states, some of whom received safe passage from Australian authorities despite their well-documented involvement in war crimes. When three Melbourne brothers stumble upon a family secret, they embark on a journey to journey to uncover the truth. According to an intriguing account, their father, Boris, a WWII Partisan and Holocaust survivor who had settled in Melbourne post-war, supposedly traveled to Sydney in the late 1950s with the intention of carrying out a revenge killing against a former Nazi. With the help of a private investigator, the brothers unearth an unexpected web of Nazi networks, covert Jewish vigilante groups, and a trail of enigmatic deaths and disappearances of Nazis in post-World War II Australia. The deeper they delved into the past, the more they grappled with mounting evidence and unsettling revelations about the father they thought they knew. A thrilling documentary that confronts deep questions of morality — including taking justice into your own hands — and dares to ask whether we ever really know our parents.
