The Forger

116 minutes 2022 6.2

Cioma Schönhaus lives alone in an empty apartment after the rest of her family has been deported. Through his work at a munitions factory, he is useful to the armed forces. To catch up, Schönhaus begins to develop his skills as a forger. The fake passports he produces save many lives as more and more Jews choose to leave the country to escape the Nazi terror. But Schönhaus' many talents go further than that. He creates a new identity for himself, completely hiding his Jewish background behind a blond and short-cut facade. Thanks to this cunning, Schönhaus succeeds in the feat of living the happy days of life in restaurants and dance halls in the heart of Berlin.
