The German Doctor (2013)

In the remote expanses of Patagonia, 1960, an unsuspecting Argentinean family crosses paths with a seemingly benign German doctor, portrayed by Alex Brendemühl. On the dusty road leading to their fresh start in a small town, the family finds themselves in the company of this enigmatic stranger. Eva (Natalia Oreiro), Enzo (Diego Peretti), and their trio of children, unknowingly, welcome into their lives one of history's most menacing figures. The family's young daughter, Lilith (Florencia Bado), becomes the focal point of the doctor's interest, as they entrust her care to him. Unbeknownst to them, their household now harbors a man whose name sends chills down the spines of those who know it - Josef Mengele, the "Angel of Death". This man, notorious for his chilling role as an SS officer and physician at the Auschwitz concentration camp, is now concealed amidst the tranquil landscapes of South America. While Mengele settles into the unsuspecting family's life, halfway across the world, Israeli agents are relentlessly hunting for the elusive German doctor. Their desperation to bring him to justice adds a palpable tension that underpins the narrative. The film, based on Lucía Puenzo's gripping fifth novel, intertwines the innocence of a girl's affection for the doctor, and the horrifying realization of his true identity. 'The German Doctor' takes you on an unsettling journey through the uncharted territories of trust and deception, innocently inviting one of WWII's most detestable war criminals into a family's heart. This is the chilling true story of a family that, unknowingly, shared their lives with the embodiment of evil, and of the love that blossomed in the shadow of monstrosity.
