Mr. Kaplan
HD. A grumpy old man sees opportunity when he learns of a mysterious German man he suspects is a Nazi in hiding. After fleeing Europe for Uruguay during WWII, Jacob Kaplan built a quiet life. Now 76, he begins to question his worth. After learning of a mysterious German prowling the shores of a nearby beach, he becomes convinced that he's found a Nazi in hiding and plans to expose him. Expertly distilling a potent mixture of emotional depth and deadpan comedy, Mr. Kaplan is a vivacious meditation on family, aging, and the drive for significance. —Brock Pace At 76, Mr. Kaplan has a severe existential crisis. As he begins to question his worth, he comes across the strange case when his grand-daughter mentions about a German man who runs a café near the beach. Convinced that he has found an escaped "Nazi", Mr.Kaplan, himself a Jew who fled from the Nazis as a child, teams up with the expelled cop, Contreras, who incidentally turns out to be a slacker, to kidnap the German & take him to justice. —PipingHotViews Jacob Kaplan lives an ordinary life in Uruguay. Like many of his other Jewish friends, Jacob fled Europe for South America because of 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 suspicion of being a runaway Nazi. Ignoring his family's concerns about his health, Jacob secretly recruits Contreras, a more loyal than honest former police officer, to help him investigate. Together, they will try to repeat the historic capture of Adolf Eichmann : by unmasking and kidnapping the German and secretly taking him to Israel. —Happy_Evil_Dude
