As Sorowitsch works on the counterfeiting operation, he faces a moral dilemma: should he cooperate with his captors and contribute to the war effort, or should he resist and risk his own life? The film explores themes of survival, morality, and identity, and features a talented cast including Karl Markovics, August Diehl, and Devid Striesow.
