In late 1940s New York, a journalist named Phil Green embarks on a bold investigation to uncover the truth about the antisemitism that permeates high society. To do this, he decides to adopt an unconventional strategy: to pose as a Jew. As he delves into this world, Phil starts to experience firsthand the hatred and discrimination that so many people face daily.
While his professional life becomes increasingly complicated, his personal life is also affected. Phil falls in love with Kathy, a woman from high society who, although well-meaning, confronts her own prejudices and the pressure of her surroundings. The relationship between them turns into an emotional battleground, where Phil's convictions clash with Kathy's expectations. As his investigation progresses, Phil documents numerous stories of rejection and pain, revealing the hypocrisy of those who, while proclaiming themselves liberal, cannot free themselves from their own biases.
The film is not only a powerful social critique of antisemitism but also a deep exploration of identity, integrity, and the cost of seeking the truth in a world that often prefers to look the other way. With a compelling script and memorable performances, it leaves a lasting impression, challenging the audience to reflect on their own beliefs and tolerance in society.
