"Know our enemy and he will reveal himself."
Colombia, May 1960, just days after the kidnapping of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann by Mossad agents in Argentina. Polsky, a lonely and cranky Holocaust survivor, lives in the remote Colombian countryside. He spends his days playing chess and tending his beloved rose bushes. One day, when a mysterious old German man moves in next door, he suspects that his new neighbor is Adolf Hitler. Because no one believes him, he embarks on a mission to find the evidence.

Blackly comic and slightly absurdist film about a Holocaust survivor who has retreated to the Colombian countryside and thinks his new neighbor is Hitler. Clearly plays with the hypothesis that Hitler would have built a new life in South America; That was a theory that many people of my parents' and grandparents' generation believed until well into the 1980s. I thought it was quite fun because the film is carried by two great actors who play convincingly. Also reminded me a bit of those understated Scandinavian comedies. And so you get a modest work that feels a bit bigger and ends with a nice twist, but could have been a little sharper. The film is not too concerned with the tragic side and memories of the war, although the horror of the Nazis does creep through a crack. Whatever the past looked like, finally life goes on...
