SCHÄCHTEN

Victor is a successful businessman in Vienna who as a child witnessed Nazi mass murders in a field and whose own mother and sister were killed in Mauthausen. Determined to seek justice for them, he solicits help from Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal and then brings legal action against the Mauthausen commandant. The 1960’s Austrian court system includes many former Nazis. When the legal system fails, Victor takes matters into his own hands.
