1949, Josef Mengele arrives in Argentina. Hidden behind various pseudonyms, supported in Buenos Aires by a community that dreams of the Fourth Reich, Mengele first 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 more respite. From hiding place to hiding place, surrounded by a pack of dogs, perched on the watchtower he had built to watch out for the dangers that threaten him, Mengele will end up drowned on a Brazilian beach.
