Synopsis
In 1965, Mossad Agents Rachel Singer (Jessica Chastain), Stephan Gold (Marton Csokas), and David Peretz (Sam Worthington) are assigned to kidnap Nazi Dieter Vogel, a.k.a. The Surgeon of Birkenau (Jesper Christensen), in East Berlin. They succeed in the abduction, but fail in bringing him to the west side. They stay with him in an apartment building; he escapes, but the trio of young Agents lies to their government and tells them that Rachel killed Vogel while he was running away. They have been honored in their country by their action for more than 30 years. In 1997, Rachel's daughter Sarah Gold (Romi Amboulafia) releases a book in Tel Aviv about the mission of her mother and the two other agents. Rachel Singer (Dame Helen Mirren), Sarah's father Stephan Gold (Tom Wilkinson), who is paralytic in a wheelchair, and David Peretz (Ciarán Hinds), who is missing, are retired and Rachel is uncomfortable with the lie with which they have been living. Out of the blue, David appears in Tel Aviv and commits suicide. Stephan investigates and finds that Dieter Vogel is apparently alive in a hospital in Kyiv, Ukraine, and will be interviewed by a journalist. Now Rachel must travel to Kyiv to conclude what they should have done 30 years ago.
