    • Synopsis

    • Yaar is a young Israeli living in Berlin, refusing being a Jew. He accuses his father of suffering from the Holocaust although he never experienced it firsthand. In order to face his own family history, he decides to communicate the Holocaust in a new way: in a computer game. Together with his two German friends, he creates a 1940s Germany in which Jews can defend themselves and Nazis can act humanely. His father is shocked.

      TACHELES – The Heart of the Matter - shows how the trauma of the survivors affects the third generation. By bluring the truth and switching the roles of victims and perpertrators - can anyone cope with his own history?

      Is reconciliation possible with a Computer Game?
