Adam Resurrected follows former magician and circus impresario Adam Stein (Jeff Goldblum) at the Seizling Institute, an Israeli rehabilitation outpost for Holocaust survivors. A magnetic performer, Stein dazzles patients with his showmanship while struggling to grasp the abuses he faced under Commandant Klein (Willem Dafoe) in the Stellring death camp. His world is rocked, though, when a young boy arrives that seems to have the power to absolve him of his tortured past.
