How About Adolf?
A darkly comedic exploration of societal discomfort and familial boundaries unfolds during a seemingly innocuous dinner party. When a couple announces their intention to name their unborn son Adolf, the gathering descends into a minefield of awkward silences, thinly veiled outrage, and desperate attempts to steer the conversation – and the parents-to-be – towards a more palatable choice. The film isn’t about Hitler himself, but rather the enduring weight of history and the uncomfortable fascination with evil that lingers in contemporary culture, exposing how easily good intentions can collide with the legacy of trauma. It examines the limits of tolerance and the surprising elasticity of familial love when confronted with a name that reverberates with unimaginable horror, creating a uniquely unsettling and hilarious experience.
