After World War II, Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, known as the “Angel of Death,” escaped to South America and vanished into a shadowy life across Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Based on Olivier Guez’s novel, Kirill Serebrennikov’s film follows Mengele’s years in hiding, marked by fear, isolation, and the inescapable weight of his crimes. Watched through the uneasy gaze of his son and haunted by memories of the past, the film examines how a war criminal survives, unpunished yet never free, offering a stark reflection on guilt, denial, and moral collapse.

ಎರಡನೇ ಮಹಾಯುದ್ಧದ ನಂತರ, "ಸಾವಿನ ದೂತ" ಎಂದೇ ಕುಖ್ಯಾತನಾಗಿದ್ದ ನಾಜಿ ವೈದ್ಯ ಜೋಸೆಫ್ ಮೆಂಗೆಲೆ, ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಅಮೆರಿಕಾಕ್ಕೆ ಪಲಾಯನ ಮಾಡಿ ಅರ್ಜೆಂಟೀನಾ, ಬ್ರೆಜಿಲ್ ಮತ್ತು ಪರಾಗ್ವೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ರಹಸ್ಯ ಜೀವನ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಆಲಿವಿಯರ್ ಗುಯೆಜ್ ಅವರ ಕಾದಂಬರಿಯನ್ನು ಆಧರಿಸಿದ ಕಿರಿಲ್ ಸೆರೆಬ್ರೆನ್ನಿಕೋವ್ ಅವರ ಈ ಚಿತ್ರವು, ಭಯ, ಏಕಾಂತ ಮತ್ತು ಘೋರ ಅಪರಾಧಗಳ ಅಳಿಸಲಾಗದ ಹೊರೆಯ ನಡುವೆ ಕಳೆದ ಮೆಂಗೆಲೆಯ ಅನಾಮಧೇಯ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ವಿವರಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಆತನ ಮಗನ ಅಹಿತಕರ ನೋಟ ಮತ್ತು ಭೂತಕಾಲದ ನೆನಪುಗಳಿಂದ ಕಾಡಿಸುವ ಚಿತ್ರವು, ಯುದ್ಧಾಪರಾಧಿಯು ಶಿಕ್ಷೆಯಿಂದ ಪಾರಾದರೂ ಸಹ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಮುಕ್ತನಾಗದ ಬದುಕನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಇದು ಅಪರಾಧ ಪ್ರಜ್ಞೆ, ನಿರಾಕರಣೆ ಮತ್ತು ನೈತಿಕ ಕುಸಿತದ ಬಗೆಗಿನ ಒಂದು ಕಟು ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬವಾಗಿದೆ.
