The Debt

The Debt

Nominated for four Israeli Academy Awards, this thriller starring Israeli superstar Gila Almagor will have you on the edge of your seat. In 1965, three young Mossad agents track down and kill the infamous Nazi war criminal known as the Surgeon of Birkenau. The daring mission seals their reputations as heroes in Israel. One of the three agents, Rachel Berner, has capitalized on her celebrity, but 40 years later her reputation is in jeopardy when a Russian man claims that he is the Surgeon of Treblinka. The three agents decide to take action and soon we learn what really happened during their mission years ago.
(Hebrew and German with English Subtitles)
