A stark, intellectually demanding historical drama that reconstructs one of history's most consequential and morally abyssal meetings, focusing on bureaucratic evil rather than spectacle.

On January 20, 1942, the Wannsee Conference takes place in Berlin, a meeting that had only one item on the agenda: The Final Solution, the organization of the systematic mass murder of eleven million European Jews.
