| Summary: | Jacob Kaplan lives an ordinary life in Uruguay. Like many of his other Jewish friends, Jacob fled Europe for South America during World War II. But now turning 76, he's become rather grumpy, fed up with his community and his family's lack of interest in its own heritage. One beach bar may, however, provide him with an unexpected opportunity to achieve greatness and recover his family's respect in the community: its owner, a quiet, elderly German, raises Mr. Kaplan's suspicion of being a runaway Nazi. Ignoring his family's concerns about his health, Jacob secretly recruits Contreras, a former police officer, to help him investigate. Winner of the Best Uruguayan Film Award from the **Uruguayan Film Critics Association.** |
