Author(s): Ilya Chlaki
Two old men are sharing a room in a retirement home in Germany, Joseph and Hans, a Jew and a German. In the game that they made up together, where Joseph plays the part of Hans, and Hans plays Joseph. Tonight they decided to take the game to another level and completely open up to each other. Each comes to the point that has been torturing the other all through his life, the real reason why they started this unusual little game: Joseph believes he betrayed his beloved father by failing to save him from the concentration camp. Hans, in turn, is haunted by the episode with the Jewish girl.
