Short description
In the aftermath of WWII, German-Jewish cabaret singer Nelly has to undergo facial reconstructive surgery following her survival from Auschwitz. Without recognising Nelly, her former husband Johnny asks her to help him claim his wife’s inheritance. To see if he's betrayed her, she agrees, becoming her own doppelgänger.
What's left behind the scenes
- The woman on the magazine cover that Nelly is imitating is actress Hedy Lamarr (1914-2000).
- A free film adaptation of the novel "Rebellion from the Ashes" (1961) by French writer Hubert Monteilhet.
- When Lena says that Bernstein designed the apartment in Haifa, she means Shlomo Bernstein (1886-1968), an Israeli portrait artist.
