[VdR '25] Director Tomasz Wolski composes one of his archival montages to portray a controversial figure, the Jewish spy Leopold Trepper, who is suspected of having collaborated with the Nazis after his arrest in 1942. Using images from the 1960s and 1970s, which are the director's main source, the character's contradictions are reflected. But at times, the documentary's perspective seems to lean toward a hagiography of the spy, allowing him the last word and fueling doubts about the accusations against him. In the end, there remains the feeling that the mystery surrounding Leopold Trepper will remain unsolved.
