Ka.tzetnik, the Holocaust author who sold millions of copies and shaped its memory in Israel, was and remains an enigma. He remained elusive as rumors spread, claiming that he wrote all night long, in complete solitude, wearing his prisoner uniform from Auschwitz and burning his manuscripts by morning. During the explosive Eichmann trial, Ka.tzetnik was forced to reveal his identity to the public as he was summoned to testify. In a short testimony of a few minutes, he coined the term "The Other Planet" in describing Auschwitz, and fainted.

The film explores the Ka.tzetnik enigma, shedding light on the person behind the myth, and brings back a chapter in his life that wasn't discussed much—his personal odyssey in coping with his trauma through the unconventional path of LSD.
