Synopsis

In 1984, high school student Todd Bowden, intrigued by Nazi history, encounters an elderly man who strongly resembles Kurt Dussander, a known Nazi war criminal believed to be alive. A month later, motivated by curiosity and his own sense of right and wrong, Todd confronts the man. This drama explores the difficulties of confronting the past and the complexities of human nature. As Todd deals with this unsettling encounter, he questions his own values and whether true redemption is possible for someone with a dark history. The film’s atmosphere highlights the strained interactions between Todd and the mysterious older man, as they navigate a range of emotions – suspicion, anger, and ultimately, empathy. Todd is ultimately confronted with a moral challenge that tests his beliefs and changes his perspective on the world.
