The Flat is an Israeli documentary which follows Arnon Goldfinger as he cleans out his grandmother's apartment after her death. He finds evidence of a friendship between his grandparents and a member of the SS in Nazi Germany before their forced immigration to Israel. As he digs deeper he uncovers more information including their friendship after the war. He delves further into his families past uncovering disquieting things.
The film unravels a mystery but raises very complicated questions. Questions that can't be answered or simply have no answer. Why do people do the things they do?
It's an insightful, moving, dense film that examines an incomprehensible friendship in the wake of the Holocaust.
See It.
