Story: |
A hit man for Mossad is given the mission to track down the very old
Alfred Himmelman, an ex Nazi officer, who might be still alive. Pretending
to be a tourist guide he befriends his grandson Axel, in Israel to visit
his sister. He wants to convince her to come back to Germany for their
Fathers birthday party. The two men set out on an extended tour of the
country during which, Axel's frank and open attitude challenges Eyal's
rigid, cliched values. Their friendship grows until he learns of Axel's
homosexuality. With this final straw he leaves. To finish his mission
Eyal has to go to Germany. He meets Axel once more and succeeds in being
invited to the family party where secrets will be revealed.
