Austrian director Stefan Ruzowitsky's riveting thriller, with a chilling moral dilemma at its heart, is actually a true story, about a Russian Jewish forger in a World War II concentration camp.
Salomon 'Sally' Sorowitsch, whose complex character is brilliantly caught by Karl Markovics, has to choose between death in a gas chamber and co-operating with the Nazis in a counterfeit operation designed to ruin the British and American economies.
