Focus is a parable about Lawrence Newman, a meek office manager who has not had a day of trouble in his life until he gets a new pair of glasses and everyone, even his own mother, decides he "looks Jewish." In Brooklyn in 1944, even during a war against Nazism, anti-Semitism runs deep, and help-wanted ads specify "Christians only." When Newman and his new wife are mistakenly identified as Jewish, they find themselves victims of religious and racial persecution. (2001, PG-13, 106 minutes in English)
