“Mr. Kaplan” is a comedy that tells the story of 76-year-old Jacobo Kaplan who is desperate to quash a late-life existential crisis. Hoping to obtain a significant life-achievement, he becomes convinced that he’s found a former Nazi in hiding. Kaplan and his friend, a former policeman, set out to expose the ex-Nazi and bring him to justice.

Released in 2014, the film is a coproduction of Spain, Uruguay and Germany.

The Hispanic Film Series was made possible through its sponsors: Pragda; Spain Arts and Culture; Dr. Steven Roberts, vice provost and dean of the Missouri S&T College of Arts, Sciences, and Business; and Dr. Audra Merfeld-Langston, interim chair of arts, languages, and philosophy.
