Mr. Kaplan (2014)

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 is grumpy and in need of adventure. An unexpected opportunity to achieve greatness comes in the form of a quiet, elderly German, who Mr Kaplan believes to be a runaway Nazi. Determined to capture this Nazi, as Eichmann was captured before him, Mr Kaplan surprises everyone when he takes up this challenge.

Reviews
Interesting and fresh movie with good cast. Really remarkable the performance by Néstor Guzzini. The dramatic part is really good and the staging of the comedy is nice but it fails to be really funny when it needs to be.
