Haunted by his father’s portrait of his grandparents who vanished in the Holocaust, Joseph Koerner returns to Vienna to solve their mystery. Completed eighty years after the Anschluss, The Burning Child (2019, 113 mins.) is a moving, visually-stunning journey through Vienna’s urban and psychic interior to a buried past, when dreams of home became, for a city’s most ardent homemakers, an unimaginable nightmare.
