This intriguing German-made film is about a world class counterfeiter who is arrested by the Nazis. He survives in the camps by heading up a unit of Jews who are charged with creating convincing copies of the British pound and the U.S. dollar, to support a Nazi plot to undermine their respective economies. This quiet but powerful film offers a facinating mediatation on the complexities of power and the difficulty of knowing what exactly is the right thing to do in difficult circumstances. One of the best films we've seen this year - we highly recommend it!
