While Hitler’s ‘Final Solution’ is now ficercely sweeping through Europe, Himmler, the Fuhrer’s second-in-command, has secretly instigated ‘The Europa Plan’, offering rich Jewish families the final chance to escape and avoid certain death by paying to Himmler everything they own.
The wealthy Krauzenbergs, desperate to save their family, have no alternative but to make a deal with Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler, promising him their fortune in exchange for a safe passage for their family and themselves to Palestine. All goes as planned until they are joined at a farewell dinner by ‘the devil himself’, none other than Adolph Eichmann. Meanwhile, a detailed security check of Krauzenberg employees reveal a deep secret Hans and Ingrid have kept hidden for years.
The tension on the screen lasts up to the final moments!
