David Fisher
Israel/Germany/Austria | 2011 | 93mins | Colour
After the death of his Jewish father, who survived the Holocaust in Austria, director David Fisher was the only one of his siblings to read his father’s memoirs. For his film, David visits key locations in Austria and speaks with the elderly veterans in the United States who freed his father from the concentration camp. When he gets permission to visit the tunnel in Gusen, where his dad performed forced labor, he takes his two brothers and his sister along.
In the voice-over, David reads from his father’s memoirs, often from the very place that is getting described. During the intimate and often difficult conversations, David’s brothers find communicating difficult but there is also a uniquely cynical humour and liberating laughs which reunite the four.
Producers David Fisher, Irit Shimrat
