The story

The film, part of which is told through a series of flashbacks, follows the story of Adam Stein, a charismatic patient of a fictitious psychiatric asylum for Holocaust survivors in Israel, in 1961. Adam was a comedian in Berlin prior to the Second World War, during which he was sent to a concentration camp. Adam managed to survive the war only because his pre-war act was recalled by an SS officer, who took Adam as his "pet," forcing him to act like a dog (as he did during one of his sketches).
