One can only forget what one has remembered before. Katja Wild, a high school teacher from Hamburg, believes she has recognized her father in a photo from the Wehrmacht exhibition. She knows that her father was a soldier in Russia. Now, at 82 years old, he spends his twilight years in a senior residence with a view of the Elbe. The senior teacher, who specialized in Ancient History, Greek, and Latin, was regarded by his family, colleagues, and students as a humanist of the old school and a specialist in memory. A teacher without fault, an exemplary father. Now, almost 60 years after the end of the war, Katja sees this photo. There is not much time left to ask him about his experiences in World War II. A painful journey into the past begins.
