Set during the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, architect of the mass murder of the Jews during World War II, and based on true accounts, it tells its story from the intertwined perspectives of three largely unrelated figures: Eichmann’s Jewish Moroccan prison guard; an Israeli police investigator for the prosecution and a Holocaust survivor; and a 13-year-old Jewish Libyan immigrant.
Entirely shot on 16mm film, director Jake Paltrow’s (The Good Night) vividly textured work brings to life the varied experiences of these characters, emphasizing that the same historical events are often perceived differently by people around the world.
