Father

A man well-settled into the autumn of his life, Joe Mueller (Max von Sydow) is lovingly supported by his daughter Anne (Carol Drinkwater) and her husband Bobby (Steve Jacobs), a close-knit family ill-prepared for the dark secrets that are about to be uncovered. Tracked down by Holocaust survivor Iya Zetnick (Julia Blake), Joe is soon exposed as a concentration camp functionary responsible for murdering her family back in Lithuania. Branded a war criminal and subject to all manner of speculation and charge, Joe faces a heart wrenching ordeal - forgoing his once idyllic existence for a life of turmoil and paranoia - with his family his only refuge. But when Anne discovers the extent of her father's suspicious past, she is unwittingly torn between the devastating truth and her loyalty to family.
