About the film
What it’s about
After the Second World War, Josef Mengele, the Auschwitz doctor, escapes to South America. He moves between Buenos Aires, Paraguay and Brazil, trying to stay ahead of those who want him tried. His son finds him again, and Mengele must face a past he can no longer avoid.
What hooks you
Kirill Serebrennikov directs August Diehl as Mengele, with Max Bretschneider as his son. The cast also includes David Ruland and Dana Herfurth.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who like historical dramas grounded in real events, where a figure's attempt to escape accountability creates quiet tension. It suits viewers who appreciate biographical stories set in the aftermath of war, focused on moral weight rather than action.
