MOTHER NIGHT United States

In 1961, Howard W. Campbell, Jr., an
obscure American playwright, is delivered
to an Israeli prison. Awaiting trial as a
Nazi war criminal, Campbell finds himself
in the cell directly below that of the notorious
Adolph Eichmann, who is also about
to stand trial for his crimes against humanity.
Asked by the Israelis to prepare his
memoirs for the archives, Campbell is
given a typewriter and enough paper and
ribbon to account for his long and complicated
life. He starts to write, and thus
begins the tale of Howard W. Campbell, a
man who embraced the worst of causes
for the best of reasons… -Production
