- Zev Guttman (Academy Award Winner Christopher Plummer), receives a mysterious package from his close friend Max (Academy Award Winner Martin Landau), containing a stack of money and a letter detailing a shocking plan. Both Zev and Max were prisoners in Auschwitz, and the same sadistic guard was responsible for the death of both their families - a guard who, immediately after the war, escaped Germany and has been living in the U.S. ever since under an assumed identity.

A good twist - Remember review by AC
We quite enjoyed this film. We don't mind 'slow'. I thought it was cleverly done and had quite a surprising twist at the end. The dementia was believable and very well acted.

Slow but riveting - Remember review by MB
Yes, it's about old people. Yes, it's slow. And yes, it deals with dementia. BUT the story is terrific, Plummer is at the top of his game, and the movie hardly puts a foot wrong. As long as you go into it not expecting action or pyrotechnics, you may well like it.

So long, farewell, aufweidersehn, adieu - Remember review by CH
A very tense drama about the webs of memory, how much do we forget over time or rewrite to suit our own historical narrative. An unusally good account of a grandpappy escape from the stifling safety of the condo, out into the confusing big old world in search of something or someone............
