Synopsis:

The story begins when Israel secret service arrest Adolf Eichmann. They take him to Jerusalem where he will be on trial for crimes he committed against Jews during WW II. Hannah Arendt, an esteemed Jewish-German philosopher who was forced to emigrate from Germany and move to the US, is also in Jerusalem to report about the trial for The New Yorker. Based on the “”trial of the century” she wrote her book “Report on the Banality of Evil” that caused many controversies.

Using real footage from Eichmann’s trial and a story that connects three countries, the director turns the invisible passion for thinking into a deep and dramatic film.
