Autobiographical documentary in which Frans Bromet persuades his Jewish father, who has not set foot in Germany since 1931, to cross the border. Director Frans Bromet's Jewish father has not set foot on German soil since 1931. In this documentary, the filmmaker follows his parents and a befriended couple on May 4th, as they commemorate the dead near the tri-border point in Vaals. He tries to persuade his father to cross the border—illegally—into the deeply hated neighboring country. A physically small, but mentally enormous step that leads to remarkable reflections.
