The Zone of Interest plot
The Zone of Interest follows the easygoing family life of Rudolph, his wife Hedwig, and their 5 children in Nazi-infested Poland, in which the former works at the next-door concentration camp and they live within ‘the zone of interest’. While unspeakable atrocities are being committed next door, the film starkly highlights and contrasts the easygoing complacency of the Höss’ as they stroll through their garden, admiring azaleas.
The film, with its minimal yet impeccable background score, compelling cast, and unique premise, offers a chilling dichotomy between domestic bliss and war-infested hatred. While one man reads a dairy tale to his daughter, safe and secure in her room, another’s has just snuck out at great risk to secure some food. The former princess can sleep whenever she wishes, while the latter never knows which wink of hers may be her last.
