Fatherland

In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann and his daughter, actress, writer and rally driver Erika (The Zone of Interest's Sandra Hüller) embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick taking them across a Germany in ruins - from US-dominated Frankfurt to Soviet-controlled Weimar. Returning home after sixteen years of exile in the US, Thomas Mann has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also a deep fracture within his own family.

Director Paweł Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning Ida and Cold War, exploring the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe.
