Peter Nestler confronts the figure of his grandfather, the Count Eric von Rosen (1878-1948), a Swedish ethnographer and explorer. Using his grandfather’s collection of pictures and films – mainly taken in Latin America and Africa – Nestler recounts the life of a family member while also tackling topics of historical importance, such as von Rosen’s morbid taste for hunting and for death, which he pursued to the point of openly supporting the Nazis in the thirties.
