The film, about an elderly Holocaust survivor with dementia who sets out to kill a Nazi war criminal, received mostly positive reviews and won a few film festival awards.

In a New York City nursing home, the elderly and incapacitated Auschwitz concentration camp survivor Max Rosenbaum has befriended the dementia patient Zev Guttman, whom he recognized from their days at the camp. Max has continually reminded Zev that their families were murdered at the camp by the Blockführer Otto Wallisch, who emigrated to North America under the false name Rudy Kurlander. Max convinces Zev to avenge their families by seeking out and killing Wallisch. Max directs Zev to a gun shop, where he buys a Glock, and then to four men in the U.S. and Canada named Rudy Kurlander, one of whom is the former Blockführer.
