It Happened on our Ground

Avner Faingulernt / Israel, Germany, Canada / 2024 / 125 min

Wendi lives with her daughter and granddaughter on a tranquil estate, yet they bear a heavy legacy. During World War II, the estate was the site of a concentration camp, and its former owner was Wendi's uncle—Hitler’s first foreign minister, an SS officer, and family patriarch. Wendi and her mother used their privilege to ease the suffering of prisoners whenever they could. This film delves into themes of guilt, responsibility, memory, and repression as the three women confront their past to shape a more conscious future.
