Short description
With the aid of a fellow Auschwitz survivor and a hand-written letter, an elderly man with dementia goes in search of the person responsible for the death of his family.
What's left behind the scenes
- The screenwriters consulted with doctors specializing in the treatment of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
- Christopher Plummer plays the piano himself in the relevant scenes.
- German actor Günter Lamprecht was initially cast for one of the roles, but due to a knee injury, he was unable to participate in the filming. As a result, Jürgen Prochnow was found, but he was much younger than the character, so he had to play in age makeup.
- The German Shepherd (Hitler's favorite breed) is named Eva, just like Eva Braun—Hitler's mistress and later wife.
- There are several clues in the film about the true identity of Zev Gutman. When he is lying in the bathtub and looking at the shower, the screams of those dying in the gas chamber are heard in the background. If Zev had truly been a prisoner of Auschwitz, he would not have been able to leave the chamber alive. In the scene where he buys a pistol, when the seller lists the reasons why he needs to check the buyer’s identity against an FBI database, Zev emotionally reacts only to the option of a “fugitive hiding from the law.” Although Zev asks for detailed instructions on how to use the pistol, at the crucial moment he uses the weapon coolly and effectively: with the first shot he kills the attacking dog, with the second shot to the chest he neutralizes the person, and immediately, with a steady hand, he delivers a follow-up shot to the head. This was muscle memory at work, which suggests that the hero underwent special training in elite units.
