Our suggestions
Jacob Kaplan , one of many Jews who fled Europe for South American during World War II, lives an ordinary life in Uruguay. At almost 76, he's become fed up with his community and family's lack of interest in its own heritage. 'Mr. Kaplan' is a hilarious, crowd-pleasing black comedy revolving around a Jewish retiree who is convinced the shy, old German owner of a local seafront restaurant is in fact a former Nazi.
"It's not easy to reach old age and realize that you haven't left your mark on the world. Mr. Kaplan is all about that, about making a difference, even if it's too late - which ends up being quite funny moments in the movie."
