Eyal is a professional hit man for the Mossad, the Israeli Secret Service. His newest mission is to track down the very old ex-Nazi officer Alfred Himmelman rumoured to be still alive. Pretending to be a tourist guide, he befriends Himmelman’s grandson Axel, who has come from Germany to visit his sister in Israel. Eyal takes Axel from the historical sights of Jerusalem to the shores of the Dead Sea. Despite their contrasting personalities, the tough Mossad agent warms up to young Axel’s liberal views and bright enthusiasm. But Eyal’s macho conservatism is eventually challenged by Alex’s frankness and the news that he is openly gay. An uneasy tension rises between the two young men. Soon after Axel’s return to Germany, the Mossad suspects that Himmelman could come out of hiding for Axel’s father’s upcoming birthday party. Eyal is sent to Berlin, where he must get closer to Axel in order to discover the truth about the notorious family. Uncharacteristically vulnerable since his wife’s recent death, professional killer Eyal will also have to discover certain truths about himself …
