The DEBT is a dramatic story of three young Mossad agents on a secret mission to Berlin in the 1960’s to capture a notorious Nazi war criminal, the Surgeon of Birkenau. Their assignment was to bring him to Israel to stand trial. Mistakes of the agents while the Nazi was being held allowed the prisoner to escape. Unable to face their mission’s failure they lie to their superiors and return to Israel as national heroes. Thirty years later, a man claiming to be the Surgeon of Birkenau surfaces in the Ukraine. One of the former agents must go back undercover to seek out the truth and preserve their public image as heroes. On a deeper level, by examining the psychology of the Mossad agents, THE DEBT is a look into the learning process through which we face our own demons.
