LIES ARE REDEEMED IN THE DEBT
In 1965, Mossad assigns Rachel Singer (played by Jessican Chastain), Stefan Gold (Marton Csokas) and David Peretz (Sam Worthington) to kidnap Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen), the Surgeon of Birkenau in East Berlin. They succeed, but Vogel escapes. But the trio tells Israel that Rachel killed Vogel. In 1997, when Rachel’s daughter Sarah Gold (Romi Aboulafia) publishes a book about the mission, Rachel is obviously uncomfortable with the lie. Stefan finds that Vogel is in a Kiev hospital and is about to be interviewed by a journalist. Rachel (now played by Helen Mirren) and Stefan (Tom Wilkinson) now realize that they must really perform the mission, especially after David (now Ciarán Hinds) suddenly commits suicide. Not only is the film about the two escapades but also the personal relations involving the trio. MH
