The true story of Salomon Sorowitsch, counterfeiter extraordinaire and bohemian. After getting arrested in a German concentration camp in 1944, he agrees to help the Nazis in an organized counterfeit operation set up to help finance the war effort.

Winner of Best Foreign Language film at the Oscars, Stefan Ruzowitzky’s The Counterfeiters is an engrossing WW2 story with a shocking moral conundrum at its center. Haunting from start to finish, the film adds further layers through remarkable performances from Karl Markovics and August Diehl.
