The Zone of Interest

A high-ranking camp official and his wife try to create an idyllic family life in a house and garden beside Auschwitz. Their everyday routines continue amid the distant sounds and signs of unimaginable suffering, creating a chilling portrait of ordinary domestic life alongside atrocity.
