Traversing the bleak terrains of a war-torn past, 'We Are Only Ghosts' is a poignant tale of a survivor's struggle with the haunting vestiges of a Nazi death camp and a complex relationship defined by a blend of enmity and intimacy. In 1960s New York City, Charles Ward, an enduring witness to the tyranny and trauma of Auschwitz, skillfully masquerades as an unassuming headwaiter. The deceptive tranquility of his present life shatters when Berthold Werden, the Nazi officer who once alternated between tormentor and protector, reappears. As Charles grapples with the resurfacing of volatile memories and his undiminished thirst for vengeance, the pervasive psychological scars propel him towards a catharsis that can either emancipate his spirit or perpetuate his afflictions.
