Fatherland

In a chilling alternate 1960s where Nazi Germany emerged victorious, the nation has rebuilt itself into a polished, authoritarian superpower while the atrocities of the past are officially erased and purposefully buried. As the regime prepares a dramatic rapprochement with the United States—culminating in plans for a high-profile peace summit—old crimes threaten to surface, and the veneer of normalcy begins to crack. The government’s eagerness to move forward collides with the fragile threads of truth that still exist beneath the surface.

An American journalist and a disillusioned German homicide detective inadvertently stumble upon a conspiracy to obliterate evidence of the genocidal campaign. What begins as routine inquiry escalates into a life-and-death struggle as they pursue leads through the corridors of power, state archives, and clandestine sites where memory has been deliberately extinguished. Their investigation exposes not only documents and witnesses but also the moral rot that permits such cover-ups at the highest levels.

Blending tense procedural investigation with high-stakes political thriller, the story interrogates themes of memory, complicity, and the price of silence. As the protagonists race to reveal the truth before the world moves on, the film forces viewers to confront the consequences of rewriting history and the urgent necessity of bearing witness, even when the consequences are deadly.
