After the war, charismatic David Bermann recruits fellow Holocaust survivors for a money-making scheme to realize their shared dream of rebuilding their lives in America. Their clever strategy brings in much-needed cash, until David’s secret past begins to catch up with him. This dark comedy is based largely on co-screenwriter Michel Bergmann’s debut novel “The Traveling Salesmen,” inspired by his own family history.
