Father is a 1990 film about a retired German immigrant living in Australia, Joe Muller (Max von Sydow), who is accused by a strange woman named Iya Zetnick (Julia Blake) of being a former Nazi who committed war crimes during the Second World War.
[1] The film begins with a scene of an open pit full of shot naked bodies somewhere in Lithuania during the Second World War.
A young Iya Zetnick crawls out of the bodies in tears, apparently having survived a massacre.
Decades later in modern-day Melbourne Joe Muller and his affable family are introduced.
His adult daughter Anne lives with him, and one day she receives a phone call from Iya Zetnick, asking her to ensure she watches a television current affairs show coming up.
