Synopsis : It is disturbing to look in the mirror and have the same face as a sadistic Nazi guard, nicknamed Hitler's witch. And it is more disturbing for Frida because she does not know her mother's name. It’s 1961 in the remote Argentinean Patagonia, a family of Nazi fugitives arrives at teen Frida's house looking for refuge: they want to live a normal life with total impunity. What is the normality of silence, of obedience, of violence like for the young people of these two families?. Frida rejects her father's mandate and gives herself over to a forbidden love, even though she suffers in her own flesh the darkest part of the human condition. The film becomes a Nazi fable where the horrors that inhabit these characters still persist. But as in a perverse mirage, it is easy to see clearly in the past what we still hide in the present.
