Somewhere in South America, May 1960, just after Israel’s abduction of Adolf Eichmann in Argentina. Polsky (David Hayman, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas), a lonely and grumpy Holocaust survivor, lives in the remote countryside. He spends his days playing chess and tending his beloved rose bushes. One day, when a mysterious old German man (played by the legendary Udo Kier in his final leading role) moves in next door, he suspects that his new neighbor is... Adolf Hitler. Since nobody believes him, he embarks on an investigation to prove it. But in order to gather evidence, he will need to be closer to his neighbor than he would like. So close that the two could almost become friends.
