The Last Suit (Spanish: El último traje; Polish: Ostatni garnitur) is a 2017 Argentine-Spanish-Polish dramatic film written and directed by Pablo Solarz, starring Miguel Ángel Solá, Ángela Molina and Martín Piroyansky. The film tells a story that explores old age, generational differences, judaism and the wounds that remain open from World War II.[2]
Plot[]
Abraham Bursztein, an 88-year-old Jewish tailor, who even has great-grandchildren, found out his daughters' intention to sell his apartment and send him to a nursing home. Later he decides to travel from Buenos Aires to Łódź in Poland, where he sets out to find his old friend Piotrek, who saved him from certain death at the end of World War II, and then helped him escape to Argentina. Abraham intends to keep his promise of returning one day and to also give him the last suit he ever made, to which the film title alludes.
What follows is a series of entanglements with road-movie elements that in its heart hides important themes. Despite his constant grumpiness and mistreatments, Abraham will always find someone willing to help him. In Spain, Maria (Angela Molina) will assist him after losing his money in a robbery, and to reconnect with his estranged daughter. In Germany, Ingrid (Julia Beerhold) will support him in making peace with the country and its people.
The magic of the story will even make a Polish nurse named Gosia (Olga Bołądź) who he barely knows; accompany him on the last leg of his journey to Łódz.
