A man returning from Auschwitz imagines himself as an SS officer and reviews all his experiences.




Return from Another Planet

In 1945, Yechiel De-Nur, who managed to escape from Auschwitz, starts writing a few months after leaving the camp. After a while, he takes the name Ka-Tzetnik and his books are published in 32 languages, selling millions of copies. In the 1961 Adolf Eichmann trial, he reveals his true identity by describing Auschwitz as 'another planet'. Years later, he resorts to an experimental LSD treatment for trauma therapy and imagines himself as an SS officer. This changes everything.

The film introduces viewers to Yechiel De-Nur's life story and the horrific realities of the era in a striking way. The change and transformation the character goes through is strong and impressive enough to attract the viewers' attention. With the film's striking scenes and realistic characters, the director successfully makes the audience feel De-Nur's dramatic story and the trauma he has experienced.

The film was shot in Israel and Poland. Viewers have often stated they were deeply affected after watching the film and that the story made them think.
