3:30-5pm: My Neighbor Adolf

Colombia, May 1960, just a few days after the abduction of the Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann by Mossad agents in Argentina. Polsky, a lonely and grumpy Holocaust survivor, lives in the remote Colombian countryside. One day, when a mysterious old German man moves in next-door, he suspects that his new neighbor is… Adolf Hitler. But, 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.
