Drama Science Fiction
On the shores of the Baltic Sea in a unified Europe, a nation marks Thanksgiving Day—the most sacred holiday since the denazification reforms of the late 1960s, enacted nearly twenty years after World War II ended in a Nazi victory. Having condemned the atrocities of the regime, Europeans now carry the weight of the victors’ guilt.

More About This Film

Verily Hitler Is Dead is an unsettling Polish historical satire that imagines a radically altered Europe and uses that speculative premise to question how societies remember war, responsibility, and political violence. Its world is intentionally provocative, blending historical references with absurdist and dystopian ideas.

The film approaches difficult twentieth-century subjects through a deliberately theatrical and ironic lens. Rather than presenting a conventional historical narrative, it uses alternate-history imagery and dark humor to challenge assumptions about collective memory and the stories nations tell themselves.

  • Directed by Monika Strzępka and written by Paweł Demirski.
