Cummings Center for Seniors: Winter Session

Movies and Munchies: "A Matter of Size" 

Monday, January 30, 7:00 PM at Temple   

This Hebrew comedy with English subtitles is about four overweight friends from the Israeli city of Ramle who are fed up with dieting and the dieting club they belong to. When 350 lb Herzl loses his job as a cook and starts working as a dishwasher in a Japanese restaurant, he discovers the world of Sumo, where large people like himself are not only accepted, but honoured. Through Kitano, the restaurant owner and a former Sumo coach in Japan (supposedly hiding from the Yakuza in Israel), Herzl falls in love with the sport of Sumo and wants the reluctant Kitano to coach the budding Israeli 'sumo' team.  “A Matter of Size” is a comedy about a “coming out” of a different kind-overweight people learning to accept themselves. Admission: $10 members/$15 non-members
