Summary
An 80-year-old translator, Ali Ung?r, comes across a book written by a former SS officer recounting his war experiences in Slovakia. Ali realizes that one of the chapters may well describe his own parents? execution. And so, armed with a pistol, he sets off to Vienna to look for the SS man and take his revenge. But once there, the only person he encounters is the man?s 70-year-old son Georg, a former teacher who has spent his whole life avoiding his father and suffering from an addiction to alcohol. The translator?s visit arouses Georg?s curiosity and he decides to invite Ali on a trip through Slovakia. Gradually, these two very different men begin to warm to each other and together, they discover a country that would prefer to forget about its past.
