A Matter of Size is a tender comedy that tackles the themes of body shame and body celebration. Fed up with a diet-obsessed world and being teased for their weight, four working class friends from a small Israeli city discover the world of sumo wrestling, where large people are honoured and appreciated. With the benefit of a Japanese former Sumo
coach turned restaurant owner, they decide to follow a new aspiration of becoming sumo wrestlers and eventually fall in love with the sport. The outcome is a delightful and very funning story of resolve and personal acceptance. This feel-good movie of the festival circuit has already been picked up for a Hollywood remake by the Weinstein brothers.
