L'occupation intime

Film documentary chronicling the arduous and complicated persecution of hidden Nazi leaders worldwide since 1945 to the present.

How Germany was when its people entered the nightmare of World War II? Despair and fear lead a hungry population to follow the chilling call of just one man to world domination. A real-life horror story, an ominous tale of violence and deception, which takes place from 1919 to 1934. (Entirely made up of restored, colorized archival footage.)

Eva Braun was the mistress of Adolf Hitler from 1932 until their joint suicide in April 1945, in a bunker in the heart of Berlin. From 1937 to 1944, she shot amateur films at Hitler's Berghof in the Bavarian Alps, the Nazis' center of decision, where the Führer loved to receive his entourage. Color images that allow to enter the intimacy of Hitler and behind the scenes of the Third Reich. These historical images have been combined in a documentary that takes a unique look at the private life and crimes of the German dictator: that of the woman who shared his life.

November 11, 1918. At the end of the First World War, the surviving humanity realizes that the world of yesterday has definitively disappeared in abysses of suffering. Seven months later at Versailles, the victors make a Peace imposed on the vanquished: the Russian, German, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires disappear, and on all the continents are born new nations, often conceived in pain. Populated by traumatized veterans, widows and orphans, exiles, deportees, the world is trying to rebuild itself after the earthquake of the Great War. Faced with the uncertainty of tomorrow, the good will incarnated by the "League of Nations" fail to recreate a peaceful world. Injured wounds get gangrenous. The Germans are humiliated. Greeks, Turks, Armenians are displaced. Hungary is cut up. America is isolating itself. The hints of independence shake the British Empire. Russia is falling into a bloody civil war. Then a period of precarious equilibrium begins, where hate, fear and rancor re-emerge from the depths of society, sowing chaos in the new world order: revolutions, crises, waves of migration and civil wars, are fertile ground for nationalist movements determined to impose their totalitarian ideology by arms. As Western populations blindly attempt to forget Charleston's frantic war, the rise of nationalism irreversibly takes the world to a new Apocalypse.
