This documentary tells the story of Raoul Wallenberg, who traveled to Budapest in 1944 to rescue as many Jews as possible. In less then six months he managed to save thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Nazi and Arrow Cross death machinery. He was arrested and deported by the Soviets on January 17, 1945, after which he disappeared. The film also explores Wallenberg's youth and his complicated relation with his larger family, and leads the viewer into the KGB's prisons and archives. Eye-witnesses, family members and well informed people deliberate on the possible reasons of his mysterious disappearance.
