Hermann mein Vater

History/Society, France/Germany 1987

'Hermann mein Vater' is a very personal documentary: Helma Sanders-Brahms travels to France with her father, visits the places where he was a German occupier in 1940, and follows his renewed encounters with people he met at that time. The footage is juxtaposed with documentary material that allows the viewer to feel the cruelty and force of the German invasion of France. The director wants to confront her father with the historical truth and hear a confession of guilt, but he rather follows his personal memories and avoids the confrontation.
