2026 · 93 min · Drama, History

Autumn 1952: Committed journalist Hedda and her husband Winfried ambush Felix Kersten, former massage therapist to SS Reich Leader Himmler, on a train to Oslo. Kersten is said to have helped thousands of concentration camp prisoners to freedom during the Nazi era—at least according to his own account. But Hedda has her doubts. She considers Kersten a mythmaker who is using fabricated heroic deeds to put himself in the running for the Nobel Peace Prize. What begins as an interview develops into a tense, psychological cat-and-mouse game: Kersten, rhetorically brilliant and armed with alleged evidence, encounters a stubborn opponent who relentlessly confronts him with contradictions. As the conversation comes to a head, the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize winner draws ever closer....
