Un soir d'été, le jeune résistant juif Elisha apprend qu'il est choisi pour commettre à l'aube un acte irrémédiable. Il doit tuer John Dawson, un officier de l'armée d'occupation britannique en Palestine qu'il n'a jamais rencontré auparavant et que l'on retient en otage. Elisha a une nuit entière pour se préparer à assumer son rôle de bourreau. Et aussi pour défendre son acte vis-à-vis des morts qui, en juges ou en témoins, sont venus assister à l’exécution. L'aube, devient ainsi le couronnement de la nuit au lieu d’être l'annonciatrice du jour. C'est l'heure où le bourreau et sa victime, se trouvant face à face, engagent un dialogue simple et tragique où étincelle l'aveuglante vérité de l'homme.

Paris, January 1942. France is occupied by the Nazis. Robert Klein, apparently apolitical, is a well-to-do art dealer, Roman Catholic and Alsatian by birth, who takes advantage of French Jews who need to sell artworks to raise cash to leave the country. One day, the local Jewish newspaper, addressed to him, is delivered to his home. He learns that another Robert Klein who has been living in Paris, a Jew sought by the police, has had his mail forwarded to him in an apparent attempt to destroy his social reputation and make him a target of official anti-Semitism. He reports this to the police who remain suspicious that he may be reporting this scheme to disguise his own true identity. His own investigations lead him in contradictory directions, to Klein who lives in a slum while having an affair with his concierge and to Klein who visits a palatial country estate where he has seduced an apparently Jewish married woman. When the art dealer cannot locate the other Klein, authorities require him to offer proof of his French heritage. While waiting for the documentation to arrive, he struggles to track down his namesake and learn his motivation. Before he can resolve the situation by either means, he is caught up in the July 1942 roundup of Parisian Jews. He is reunited with Jews who once were his clients as they board boxcars for Germany.
