War drama co-written and directed by Costa-Gavras. Newly-commissioned Lieutenant Gerstein (Ulrich Tukur) is horrified when he witnesses the chemical disinfectant that he has helped to perfect being used to systematically murder interred Jews. The only sympathetic ear he is able to find is that of young Father Riccardo (Mathieu Kassovitz), a priest with deep ties to the Vatican. While Riccardo takes on the obstructive Vatican hierarchy, Gerstein must walk a tightrope between documenting and enabling the atrocities committed by his fellow SS officers. As the two unlikely allies fight to reveal the truth to the Church and the world, they discover that the fates of a man of conscience committing treason for the sake of humanity and a man of God committing heresy to thwart genocide are ultimately the same.
