 "A MATTER OF SIZE"
an Israeli film in Hebrew with English subtitles

This charming and poignant Israeli comedy is about self-acceptance and self discovery which transforms the characters lives.
Herzl (Itzik Cohen) is and always has been overweight. Newly unemployed, living at home with his mother in Ramla and banished from his weight-loss program, he finds himself washing dishes in a Japanese restaurant in Ramle. He discovers the world of Sumo where large people, such as himself, are honoured and appreciated. The sport, where size is an asset, transforms Herzl. With a few large friends, he pursues his newfound passions and an entirely new perspective on life.

RSVP's are appreciated.
