Psychological Drama - 93 minutes, Israel 2007, In Hebrew and German with English subtitles

In 1964 three Mossad agents working in Berlin capture the notorious Nazi war criminal "The Surgeon of Birkenau." But before they can deliver him to Israel a tragic blunder provides his escape. Unable to confess their failure, the agents fake The Surgeon's death and return to Israel as national heroes. Thirty years later, The Surgeon resurfaces in the Ukraine, ready to confess to his war crimes. Before he goes public the agents must recapture and then terminate The Surgeon in order to protect their three decade old lie.
