Conman, Eduard, has concocted a plan to trick wealthy Jewish foreigners by arranging "heritage" trips back to their purported homeland that their families fled from during the War. Eduard invents familial bonds between the émigrés and the locals, some of whom he pays off to participate in the ruse, and some of whom he cons into believing that the visitors really are their long-lost kin. As the con progresses beyond his control, Eduard and the other characters reveal facets of their identities that were previously hidden.
