Herzl is a big fish out of water. A 340 pound chef living with his mother, he’s been diving into perpetual diet groups and fitness regimes, and belly flopping. The relentless pursuit of slim frustrates him and for his overweight friends in the working-class town of Ramle, Israel. But that changes when Herzl discovers a world where fat guys can be rock stars: the world of sumo wrestling. A sensitive comedy with English subtitles. Followed by a discussion.
Directed by Sharon Maymon & Erez Tadmor
