The Film
To most people, condemning Nazism is a matter of common sense. But not to all. Carl Johan De Geer lived, as a child for a few years, with his grandmother who was a Nazi, even after World War II. Carl Johan did not know that he should have been ashamed of his grandmother. He loved her. He never understood what went on in her mind, and it was not until after she had died that he started to think about it and wonder: I loved my grandmother. She was a good person. A Nazi cannot possibly be a good person. That is the paradox of the film.
