Fatherland
<div><i>Fatherland</i> centres on the relationship between the Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (an impeccable Sandra Huller, <i>Zone Of Interest</i>, <i>Anatomy Of A Fall</i>), actress, writer and rally driver. In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter 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 deep fracture within his own family.</div><div><br></div><div>With <i>Fatherland</i>, Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning <i>Ida (2013)</i> and Cold War, exploring – in his elliptic, distilled way – the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe.</div><div><br></div>DramaPT1H22MCTCSandra Huller
