My Neighbor Adolf (Hebrew: השכן שלי אדולף) is a 2022 comedy-drama film directed by Leon Prudovsky. Set in Colombia in the early 1960s, the film follows a lonely and grumpy Holocaust survivor, Mr. Polsky (David Hayman), who is convinced that his German neighbor, Mr. Herzog (Udo Kier), is Adolf Hitler.[1][2][3][4]

An international co-production of Israel, Poland and Colombia, the film premiered at the 75th Locarno Film Festival before being released in Israel on 26 January 2023.

Plot

In May 1960, Mr. Polsky, an elderly and grumpy Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor, lives alone in the remote countryside of Colombia, spending his time gardening and playing chess. One day, shortly after the abduction of the Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann by Mossad agents in Argentina, a mysterious old German man, Herzog, moves in next door. Polsky starts suspecting that the man is none other than Adolf Hitler himself, believing that Hitler forged his own suicide, changed his appearance and fled to South America. Despite nobody believing in him, Polsky is determined to prove his view, so he decides to get closer to Herzog in order to gather evidence.
