Plot

In May 1960, Mr. Polsky, an elderly and grumpy Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor, lives alone in the remote countryside of Colombia, spending his time gardening and playing chess. One day, shortly after the abduction of the Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann by Mossad agents in Argentina, a mysterious old German man, Herzog, moves in next door. Polsky starts suspecting that the man is none other than Adolf Hitler himself, believing that Hitler faked his own suicide, changed his appearance, and fled to South America. Despite nobody believing him, Polsky is determined to prove his view, so he decides to get closer to Herzog in order to gather evidence.
