Synopsis
While hidden in a Christian orphanage, Manfred Mayer, 13, promised his mother to always protect his younger brother, Heinz. But the two were separated in 1945. Upon receiving the news of their parents’ death in Auschwitz, Manfred went to America, changed his name to Fred and deliberately abandoned his Jewish and German identities. Heinz (Menachem) made his way to Israel, devoted himself to Orthodox Judaism, and dedicated his life to Zionism. Sixty years later they meet again. In their hometown of Hoffenheim, at the invitation of two German brothers—their school friends from before the war—who after founding the software giant SAP have become one of Germany’s wealthiest families. It was their local Nazi chief—who was responsible for the deportation of the Mayer family. In Post-Production
