Hitler's Witch (2023) La Bruja de Hitler

Directors: Ernesto Ardito, Virna Molina
Stars: Isadora Ardito, Fidela Carrasco, Victoria Lombardero Có

It is disturbing to look at yourself in the mirror and see the same face of a female sadistic Nazi guard, nicknamed "Hitler's Witch". And it's more disturbing for Frida Krauss because she doesn't know the name of her own mother. It is the year 1961, and in the remote Argentine Patagonia, a family of Nazi fugitives arrives at the Krauss house in search of refuge so that they can live a normal life with total impunity. However, since their arrival, a series of events will be unleashed between the teenage children of these two families, who are witnesses and victims of abuses and crimes with impunity. Gretel, the only daughter of the Nazi leader, indulges in the secret perversion of her father; Frida's brother Hans seeks to become a good man through suffering and violence; Emma, the youngest of the bunch, experiences in her own body the suffocation of silence and Frida dares to reject her paternal mandate and throws herself to a forbidden love even at the cost of suffering firsthand the darkest punishments of the human condition. They all have the possibility of rejecting or embracing this heritage and all that comes with it. A Nazi fable where the horrors that inhabit these characters still persist. Only like a perverse mirage, in the past we manage to see clearly what we still hide in the present.
