Budapest Budapest

Rudolf Kastner sits in a Tel Aviv bar trying to distract himself from being accused of collaborating with the Nazis during World War II. But when Hannah Senesh shows up, yes, the Hannah Senesh, Rudolf is forced to brutally engage with the impossible decisions of his past. Budapest Budapest tells the story of a Jewish poet paratrooper and a notorious negotiator, and how their lives intersected in the pursuit of justice.
