“It looked like love at first sight; during the morning hours they could be seen strolling arm in arm on the paths surrounding Lake Nahual Huapi, returning to the hotel at sunset to dance all night till sunrise.
With these words begins the article in the German magazine Der Spiegel describing the events that happened on March 12th 1960 in the resort town Bariloche in southern Argentina.
My name is Gabriel and I am a film editor. Thus, while working on a film about the Nazis in Argentine I first read about the Nora Eldodt Affair; an espionage story as if taken from a Hollywood movie in which a Nazi war criminal murders a beautiful Mossad agent.
After gathering hundreds of photos and documents, among them Nora Eldodt's personal appointment diary and after questioning people who were there at the time and place where she found her death, I was astounded to find out that over the years the affair had become a myth with an unrealistic number of versions.
I decided to write a personal version to the 50 year old mystery and which would answer the question:
What really did happen in Bariloche only two months before the kidnapping of Adolph Eichmann - a murder of a Mossad agent or an innocent tourist's fatal accident?
Was Joseph Mengele connected to the mysterious death of Nora Eldodt or perhaps this was another myth created from imagination?
The Eldodt Affair is mystery - romance - espionage story. I know how it begins. No one knows how it will end...
