“Seinfeld” producer Gary Gilbert leads a gang of curious individuals on the trail of a trove of stamps stolen from Jews in the Holocaust and reportedly buried in a small town in Poland.
Gilbert’s neighbor, documentary film director Dan Sturman, first serves as the voice of reason, but is soon caught up in the saga and begins plotting alongside his neighbor.
Eventually, the team hatches a surreal plan to make a fake movie to get into the basement that they believe the stamp stash is stored in.
Let’s hear who gave this film an “oy,” “meh” or the prized “not bad” this week on The Reel Schmooze.
