German Shepherd

Synopsis

Growing up as an American Jew with a mother who survived the Holocaust, David is haunted by “the Nazi thing,” an irrational fear of Germans and an obsession with Holocaust movies. Through recurring travels to Berlin he initiated his own reconciliation project. Nils Bergendal interprets David’s interview into a wry animated introspection, questioning whether it’s wise to look to the past for answers.
