I Am von Höfler - Variation on Werther, Part 2

Family saga, which began 250 years ago. The family belonged to the aristocracy and owned a leather factory in the city of Pecs in southern Hungary. Tibor Höfler, the main protagonist, documented the history of the family throughout the 20th century, and it is his films and letters, as well as additional archival material, that give us a look at the story of his life and that of his family—his relations with women, his complex relationship with his son, born out of wedlock, his life during World War II when many of his family members were sent to ghettos and concentration camps, the communist era during which the family property was confiscated, and even a brief visit to Israel in 1967.
