 OFFICIAL SELECTION 

Family Love - My Grandpa, Nazism and Me

DIRECTED BY

Eric Esser

Synopsis:

An inherited family treasure trove of photos and film footage show the director's grandfather in southern Germany in the 1940s. In one clip, the grandfather is briefly seen at a funfair wearing a swastika on his jacket.

How is our perception of a loved one changed through a symbol that stands for murder by the millions? How can photos and film footage, memories and archival material, be pieced together to form a coherent picture?

A struggle for memory - and a search whose persistence ultimately ruffles some feathers in the family.
