About a son's search for his dad. Christopher Buchholz's father, the late actor Horst Buchholz, was a minor celebrity and actor in his youth both in Germany and in Hollywood. From 2001 until Horst's death in 2003, Christopher got his dad in front of a camera and tried but failed to get him to open up about his life. Despite his rich past, Horst Buchholz chooses to be dull in front of the camera as a means of avoiding a discussion of anything intimate. He comes off as a man not given to introspection and who would never share such personal introspection with anyone, even those closest to him. Christopher ends up basically interviewing himself and his sister in Los Angeles, who is now an American Sikh who goes by Simran Kaur Khalsa. Each tries to puzzle out the enigma who was their dad.
