Trog is a five-hundred-year-old farmhouse, now disused since the last farmer Uncle Hans died. The house tells the family story of the last three generations through the eyes and feelings of the many children born there in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. A complex and fascinating portrait develops of their mother, her love, and the house, told by eleven of those children of the last generation. At first glance, TROG sheds light on isolated and individual events, but these testimonies are reminiscent of those of many other Austrian families, which are rarely heard and told. Director Ella Hochleitner tackles her own family's story with incredible courage.
