1949, Josef Mengele arrives in Argentina. Hidden behind various pseudonyms, supported in Buenos Aires by a community that dreams of the Fourth Reich, Mengele initially believes he can invent a new life... But the hunt resumes, led by the Mossad, then by the Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal. Mengele’s wandering will not know any respite. From hideout to hideout, surrounded by a pack of dogs, perched on the viewpoint he had built to watch for dangers that threaten him, Mengele will end up drowned on a Brazilian beach.
