“A Gripping Noirish Study of Treachery, Identity and Survival.”
Drama
In the aftermath of WWII, German-Jewish cabaret singer Nelly has to undergo facial reconstructive surgery following her survival from Auschwitz. Without recognising Nelly, her former husband Johnny asks her to help him claim his wife’s inheritance. To see if he's betrayed her, she agrees, becoming her own doppelgänger.
VIBE
A haunting journey through post-war Berlin, this film feels like a smoky, shadowed dream. It's a slow, introspective descent into a survivor's fractured psyche, grappling with identity and the ghosts of the past.
