The Zone of Interest

Rudolf Höss is a commandant at Auschwitz concentration camp and an ardent Nazi. He and his wife Hedwig realise their idea of a dream life with a large family, a house and a large garden on a plot of land directly adjacent to the camp wall. When Rudolf is to be transferred to Oranienburg, the idyllic family life he has painstakingly built up threatens to collapse and he withholds the information from his wife. When Hedwig finds out, she refuses to leave her very own dream house. THE ZONE OF INTEREST is a film about the banality of evil that is extreme in its holokitsch.
