Adapted from Olivier Guez’s best-selling novel “The Disappearance of Doctor Mengele,” the narrative begins with Mengele, under the pseudonym Helmut Gregor, seeking sanctuary in 1949 Argentina, clutching tightly to his gruesome Auschwitz experiments. With the capture and execution of Adolf Eichmann, Mengele becomes the prey of relentless Nazi hunters, forcing him to flee from the shadows.
