What would your family reminiscences about dad sound like if he had been an early supporter of Hitler’s, a leader of the notorious SA and the Third Reich’s minister in charge of Slovakia, including its Final Solution?

It's a fascinating, maddening, sometimes even humorous look at what the director calls "a typical German story." (Film Forum)
