A morbid, poignant film that depicts the domestic life of the family of Rudolf Hoss, an SS commandant of Auschwitz, and the bizarre and tragic juxtaposition of their relative comfort and bliss with the monstrous terror being visited on so many just on the other side of the wall. A competitor for best foreign film at the Academy Awards, and a winner of the Grand Prix award at the Cannes Film festival.
