THE LAST SUIT
Memory is like a suit that's constantly being repaired. Some threads may become lost in the process, but Abraham, a grumpy, smart 88-year-old tailor, still remembers some things, such as an old promise. He sets off on an adventurous journey from Buenos Aires to Poland, to take a suit to an old friend who, 70 years prior, had saved his life during the Holocaust. On planes, trains, and in cars, Abraham meets people whose lives have been patched up. When he reaches Germany, a country he never wanted to set foot in again, his journey continues into the past. This film, at times amusing, at times melancholy, is tailor-made for its audience.
