Plot
In 1936, Salomon ‘Sally’ Sorowitsch (Markovics) is arrested for forgery and sent to Mauthausen concentration camp. Eight years later he is transferred to Sachsenhausen to head up history’s biggest counterfeiting operation - part of a Nazi plan to destabilise the Allied economies.

Verdict
A sharp and compelling war drama that delivers on the promise of its astonishing true-life origins.
