Synopsis |
A heartfelt and charming journey begins when Abraham, a spry octogenarian tailor and Holocaust survivor played by prolific Argentine actor Miguel Ángel Solá, leaves his Buenos Aires home on a one way trip across Europe in search of the man who once saved his life. "Solarz develops his protagonist beautifully showing the deep, personal pain he feels from his dark, torturous past, but also gives him a determination, inner strength and pride that have prevailed throughout the character's life." Mark Saldana - True View Reviews Cranky, crafty, and always immaculately dressed, aged master tailor Abraham Bursztein (Miguel Angel Sola) finds himself facing his winter years in a retirement home after discovering his children have sold his home out from under him. Not one to go quietly and feeling the pressure of a secret lifelong debt bearing down on him, Abraham unexpectedly sets out from Buenos Aires. His destination? Poland—a country whose name he refuses to utter—in order to deliver a suit to childhood friend Piotrek, who once saved Abraham's life during the waning days of the Nazi occupation. From an unexpected setback in Madrid, where he makes a connection with sexy hotel owner/torch singer Maria (Angela Molina, Broken Embraces), to the train station in Paris where he faces the reality of having to travel through Germany, a land he swore never to set foot in, Abraham slowly comes to face a lifetime of choices often made in anger, leading to an emotional reckoning with his past in this funny and deeply tender new film from Argentinian writer/director Pablo Solarz. |
