A young Iya Zetnick crawls out of the bodies in tears, apparently having survived a massacre.Decades later in modernday Melbourne we are introduced to Joe Muller and his affable family. His adult daughter Anne lives with him, and one day she receives a phone call from Iya Zetnick, asking her to ensure she watches a television current affairs show coming up. Joe thinks it concerns a trivial matter about his business, but he and his family are shocked when the show instead links him to the massacre of Iyas family in Lithuania. ........
