“Both actors are masters of this kind of material and give the film a good deal more depth and nuance…”
—Eye for Film

“A kind of a cross between Rear Window, Grumpy Old Men and Fright Night, My Neighbor Adolf is a surprisingly charming and gripping black comedy.”
—The Post (NZ)

Set in 1960s Colombia, My Neighbor Adolf is a darkly comic and deeply human story from writer-director Leon Prudovsky that explores suspicion, memory, and the lingering weight of history.

Starring Udo Kier (Bacurau, Melancholia) and David Hayman (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas), the film follows a reclusive Holocaust survivor who becomes convinced his mysterious new neighbor is Adolf Hitler in hiding. Blending wry humor with poignant reflection, My Neighbor Adolf invites audiences to question what we choose to believe…and how we learn to live with the past.

Colombia, May 1960, just after Israel’s abduction of Adolf Eichmann in Argentina. Polsky (David Hayman), a lonely and grumpy Holocaust survivor, lives in the remote Colombian countryside. He spends his days playing chess and tending his beloved rose bushes. One day, when a mysterious old German man (Udo Kier) moves in next-door, he suspects that his new neighbor is…Adolf Hitler.

Since nobody believes him, he embarks on a detective mission to find the evidence. But, in order to gather evidence, he will need to be closer to his neighbor than he would like. So close that the two could almost become friends.
