Facing an ethical quandary, Jewish master forger Salomon Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics) must choose between abetting the Nazis and saving his skin in this taut Oscar-nominated drama based on a true story. Assembled at a death camp, a cadre of printers, artists and chiselers—led by the opportunistic Sorowitsch—is tasked with counterfeiting currencies to weaken Allied economies. But will Sorowitsch’s conscience begin to gnaw at him as the war draws to a close?
