Patagonia 1960. Germans in Argentina? Bad vibes from the beginning.
An Argentine family moves south to take
over the mother’s family hotel. Their first guest is the charming but
mysterious German doctor of genetics. More bad vibes.
The daughter, Lilith (Bado) has a growth
disorder. The doctor wants to experiment with her to help her grow and become a
sonnenmenschen.
It is slowly and quietly chilling because
we know that he’s Mengele, the murdering doctor from Auschwitz, and because he’s
not the only Nazi in the area. And because we know it’s a true story, against
the background of the stunningly beautiful Patagonian mountains.
