In her father's basement, the director finds letters and photos from her German-Jewish family history, in which three brothers are torn between the fronts of political ideologies from the Third Reich to divided Germany. DER DRITTE BRUDER is the grandfather of the filmmaker, who, in confronting her father, tries to understand where in the past the father's sense of family fell by the wayside.The cinematic journey also reveals how the third brother's decisions have shaped the family for generations and how repression and speechlessness about the Nazi era and a divided Germany have been passed on.

Two siblings. The parents love and encourage them, but also use brute force against them. No contradiction for them. Blows, even on wounds, slaps when they fall down. Sometimes without reason. The siblings are the director and her brother. The film documents the story of a family and makes an attempt to talk about something that is usually kept quiet: The abuse of their own children.
