Director Leon Prudovsky, featuring David Hayman, Udo Kier

Colombia, 1960. A lonely and grumpy Holocaust survivor convinces himself that his new neighbour is none other than Adolf Hitler. Not being taken seriously, he starts an independent investigation to prove his claim, but when the evidence still appears to be inconclusive, Polsky is forced to engage in a relationship with the enemy in order to obtain irrefutable proof.

“Leon Prudovsky’s delicate comic drama effortlessly toggles between farce and pathos, charm and suspense, as the two antagonists set out on a cat-and-mouse game of deception and discovery” (Jewish Film Institute)
