Description
A Ukrainian Jew now living in Israel, Leonid Berenshtein is the last surviving member of the great partisans who located the hidden facility where the Germans were developing their secret weapon, the V2 missile. This confessional film is brought to life with stunning dramatic scenes, as Berenshtein revisits the memories that have haunted him. As he approaches the end of his life, Berenshtein faces his experiences as battalion commander in the Red Army and the difficult decisions he had to make while staying true to his identity as a Jew.
