Synopsis

A hit man, Eyal, is given the mission to track down the very old Alfred Himmelman, an ex Nazi officer, who might still be alive. Pretending to be a tourist guide he befriends his grandson Axel, in Israel to visit his sister. He wants to convince her to come back to Germany for their father's birthday party. The two men set out on an extended tour of the country during which, Axel's frankness challenges Eyal's rigid, clichéd values. Their friendship grows until he learns of Axel's homosexuality. With this final straw he leaves. To finish his mission Eyal has to go to Germany. He meets Axel once more and succeeds in being invited to the family party where secrets will be revealed.

    his/her review : Een onderhoudende film, die in mijn ogen een beetje de kans gemist heeft om heel goed te zijn. Goede vertolkingen maar het verhaal is soms wat dunnetjes en bevat jammer genoeg een paar onwaarschijnlijkheden. Heb het gevoel dat hij beter had kunnen zijn, maar toch het bekijken waard. 7.5/10
