It then fades back to the late 30s in Germany where Sali is more fully introduced as he parties and does shady deals and is generally talked of as a successful forger. At the party he meets a woman who pursuades Sali to forge an Argentinian passport for her, as she clearly intends to excape Nazi germany. He takes her back to his house where he skillfully produces the fake passport and ends up in bed with her.
