Relata la veritable història de Salomon Sorowitsch, insigne falsificador i bohemi. Després del seu confinament en un camp de concentració alemany en 1944, va acceptar col·laborar amb els nazis en la major operació de falsificació de bitllets de la història, amb la qual es pretenia contribuir al finançament de la guerra. Durant els últims anys del conflicte, quan el Reich veia proper el seu final, les autoritats van decidir imprimir els seus propis bitllets en les divises dels seus principals enemics. Amb aquells diners falsos pretenien ofegar les economies dels països rivals i al temps omplir les seves pròpies arques, buides per la guerra. En el camp de concentració de Sachsenhausen, dos barracons van ser aïllats de la resta de les instal·lacions i del món exterior per ser transformats en perfectes tallers de falsificació. Així va néixer la denominada Operació Bernhard.

The flat on the third floor of a Bauhaus building in Tel Aviv was where my grandparents lived since they immigrated to Palestine in the 1930s. Were it not for the view from the windows, one might have thought that the flat was in Berlin. When my grandmother passed away at the age of 98 we were called to the flat to clear out what was left. Objects, pictures, letters and documents awaited us, revealing traces of a troubled and unknown past. The film begins with the emptying out of a flat and develops into a riveting adventure, involving unexpected national interests, a friendship that crosses enemy lines, and deeply repressed family emotions. And even reveals some secrets that should have probably remained untold...

A closely observed portrait of a single man in his 40's who lives in St. Kilda. Although he has none of the trappings of conventional existence, Kelvin's obsessive interest in born again Christianity, physical culture and recent German/Jewish history has given him a way of making sense of the world and led him to a number of people, friends through whom we see something of his life and beliefs.
