See the films the platforms disagree about most →An Argentine family running a remote hotel in Patagonia during the 1960s takes in a distinguished German doctor as a lodger. He shows a particular interest in the mother, who is pregnant with twins, and her young daughter, who is small for her age. The family is initially grateful for his attention, unaware that their guest is the notorious Josef Mengele, who is continuing his horrific eugenics experiments in hiding. A creeping sense of unease grows as his true motives and identity begin to surface.
