German-Jewish cabaret singer Nelly survived Auschwitz but had to undergo reconstructive surgery as her face was disfigured. Without recognizing Nelly, her former husband Johnny asks her to help him claim his wife’s inheritance. To see if he betrayed her, she agrees, becoming her own doppelganger. Adapted from the 1961 novel Le Retour des Cendres/ The Return from the Ashes by French author Hubert Monteilhet.
