Eyal is an Israeli Mossad agent and an expert assassin. His supervisor gives him an unwanted assignment to babysit Axel Himmelman, the grandson to a notorious Nazi. He rather pursue Arab terrorist than settling old scores with dying Nazis. He is pretend to be a tour guide as Axel goes to Israel to visit his sister Pia. Pia is estranged from her parents and living on a kibbutz. Axel is a liberal homosexual who challenges Eyal's beliefs and cynical world view.
This is a rather slow simplistic movie of peace. It could be something more but the movie keeps things simple. In the end, love will conquer all and can't we just get along? The most interesting part is that it doesn't go too far. It seems to be hinting that Eyal is falling for Axel for parts of this movie. I'm glad that they don't but ending with Eyal and Pia together isn't much better. They have less chemistry than Eyal and Axel. I'm not immune to the idea of a happy ending but this feels a little lacking. It's a partial recommendation for me.
