Saratoga Jewish Community Arts Hosts Virtual Discussion of ‘The Last Suit’ Jan. 8

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Saratoga Jewish Community Arts presents a zoom panel discussion at 7 p.m. on Jan. 8 of the character driven 2016 film, The Last Suit, written and directed by Argentine filmmaker Pablo Solarz.

The story is about one man’s attempt to reconcile with his past at the end of his life.

Polarz worked on the film on and off for 12 years before confirming the message as he originally intended. Abraham Bursztein survived Auschwitz and escaped to Argentina with the help of his friend Piotrek. In the 70 years since, Abraham worked as a tailor in Buenos Aires, raised a large family, and lost touch with the man that saved his life. As he approaches 90, eluding his family’s plan to move him into a nursing home, he sets off with the goal of returning to Poland, the name he will not say aloud, where he hopes to find his friend and gift the last suit he’ll ever make.
