There are places in Europe that have remained as painful memories of the past - factories where humans were turned into ash. These places are now memorial sites that are open to the public and receive thousands of tourists every year. The film's title refers to the eponymous novel written by W.G. Sebald, dedicated to the memory of Holocaust. This film is an observation of the visitors to a memorial site that has been founded on the territory of a former concentration camp. Why do they go there? (imdb)

How to relate with a place of catastrophe and extermination in an age of spectacle, entertainment and consumerism? The film seems to bring forth the judgement that before even pondering on the ethical question, we have lost the ground on which to build ethical relations, engagements and responsibilities with the important events in the history. Which ironically means that the fascist destruction machine achieved what it aimed for: detached-indifferent individuals subordinated to raw material.
