Synopsis
The Conference (Die Wannseekonferenz, 2022) is a German historical drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Matti Geschonneck. On a January morning in 1942, fifteen senior officials of the Nazi regime arrived at a lakeside villa outside Berlin — the entire meeting had one item on the agenda.
No battle scenes, no sweep of history. Just a conference table, stacks of documentation, and men who coordinated the murder of eleven million European Jews with the composure of a quarterly review. Philipp Hochmair plays Reinhard Heydrich, who chairs the session and does not allow the discussion to drift. Matthias Brandt and Fabian Busch fill out a cast whose collective ordinariness is exactly where the horror lives.
The screenplay draws on the Wannsee Protocol — the sole surviving copy of the meeting's minutes. Geschonneck adds no score to tell you what to feel. The tagline, "When Humanity Lost the War," arrives as a verdict, not a trailer line. Stream The Conference online on iFILM.
