Synopsis

1946. Frankfurt. A deportation camp. David Berman and his six friends, all Holocaust survivors, have only one purpose: to go to America as soon as possible. For this they need money. A lot of money. Not an easy task in these difficult times. Close to his aim, David id not only deprived of all his savings but also overtaken by his shady past. Why does he have a second passport? Why was he on the Obersalzberg? Was he in contact with Hitler? This is what the beautiful but ruthless Nazis’ chaser Major Sara Simon wants to find out.
