Arthur Goldman is a rich Jewish industrialist, living in luxury in a Manhattan high-rise. He banters with his assistant Charlie, often shocking him with his outrageousness and irreverent musings on aspects of Jewish life. Nonetheless, Charlie is astonished one day when Israeli secret agents burst in and arrest Goldman for being a Nazi war criminal. Whisked to Israel for trial, Goldman forces his accusers to face, not only his presumed guilt, but their own.

Claustrophobic tension thickens within a luxury Manhattan penthouse as an eccentric industrialist's outrageous provocations collide with sudden, cold state authority. This psychological standoff forces a confrontation between personal delusion and the uncompromising demands of historical justice.
