Big guy Herzl can't lose weight, no matter what he tries! After he is thrown out of his overeaters' support group because the snippy group leader loses patience, Herzl discovers a world where overweight people are actually revered -- sumo wrestling. Herzl and his group of plump pals meet a former sumo coach who agrees to train them. After wowing audiences at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, an English-language makeover of this funny and touching story is in the works. (Ages 12+)
