The film is a mockumentary which examines the possibility that Adolf Hitler did not die at the end of World War II in 1945. It centers around historian Skule Antonsen of Sweden Jon Rekdal who along with film director Idelfonso Elizalde of Spain Julin Elizalde investigates Adolf Munchenhauser Dick Nilsson. Munchenhauser is an individual who bears a striking resemblance to Hitler, and he was taken captive in Berlin in 1945 by the Allies and was one ofmen transported on board a U.S. cargo plane who all happen to appear similar in appearance to Hitler. After gaining freedom in 1946 from captivity in a facility called Camp Rebecca located in the Great Basin Desert, Munchenhauser chose to remain in the United States. Skule researches evidence surrounding Munchenhausers activities in an effort to authenticate whether or not he is indeed Hitler. During the course of his investigation, Skules research efforts are stymied by unknown individuals.Erik Eger, Magnus Oliv and Joacim Starander were inspired by films including Zelig by director Woody Allen and F for Fake by filmmaker Orson Welles. In a 2011 interview for the Fantasia International Film Festival, filmmaker Erik Eger observed, The basis of the story is a bit about whats true in media and news today. Today we are bombarded by more messages than ever, I think. And its pretty easy for the forces behind the media and the news to make us believe almost anything. And of course what we believe makes us into who we are. And we just felt a need to do something on this theme. And it evolved into this crazy story about Adolf Munchenhauser, who might have been Adolf Hitler, we dont know. ........
