film begins and ends with the coast as the backdrop.
The vast ocean can bury everything. Whether it is good or ugly, it has passed and it has been buried in our memory.
Watching the ebb and flow always brings back memories of the past. Life ebbs and flows like the tides. There is no sea without waves, and no one's life is without ups and downs. The calm sea has no scenery, and the same life has no scenery. In the ups and downs, read the flavors of life, and reflect the value of life in the struggle.
The male protagonist, Sally, Solovich, is not tall, doesn't speak much, and has an indifferent expression, giving people a sense of being lean, calm, and profound.
At the start, Sally sits by the sea, smokes a cigarette, and leaves.
Then, in the casino, Sally is different from ordinary people, different from ordinary people's demeanor, is a low-key but full of power. The woman in the casino sees the sign on Sally's body on the bed, and the film begins the replay of Sally's past.
Sally, an expert in counterfeiting, was arrested and imprisoned to a concentration camp.
A concentration camp is a place where people have nightmares every day - the fear in the waking state is not the real horror, but the real horror is the fear in the subconscious state.
The German army gathered a group of people such as Sully, and set up a special place in the concentration camp to make counterfeit banknotes. Most people see it as a life-sustaining job, and Sally thinks the same.
In the concentration camp, people died suddenly every day, and everyone just wanted to protect themselves. However, people always need some spirit to live. Sa uses his ability to help himself and his comrades.
If counterfeit banknotes are not produced, many people will die in concentration camps; if counterfeit banknotes are produced, it will increase Germany's war capital and change the situation of the war. Sally kept thinking in the dilemma.
Finally one day, the concentration camp was liberated, and Sally and his comrades were free.
The camera cuts back to the casino again, and Sally gambles wildly, loses money like crazy, and seems to want to vent something by losing money. After losing the money, Sally left gracefully.
At the end of the film, Sally is sitting on the beach again, looking at the sea. The difference from the beginning is that there is a woman beside him. The woman kept sighing, so much money, so much money. Sally said, we can make more.

The more you try to hide, the more you will be discovered"
