The Statement

Dombey, France. 1944. In line with Nazi commands, PIERRE BROSSARD (Michael Caine), a young officer in the Vichy Milice, is responsible for the execution of 7 Jews. France. April 1992. PIERRE BROSSARD, now 70, has been on the run for almost 50 years. Sheltered by old collaborator friends and the Catholic Church, BROSSARD has been living at the monastery hidden away from both the public eye and his enemies. Until now. Hunted down and ambushed by an unknown assailant, BROSSARD deftly turns the tables on his attacker and kills him without even giving it a second thought. Quickly stripping the man of his passport, money he finds a curious "statement" which was to be pinned to his own corpse after his death.
