A Jewish Succession with the richness of
delicatessen lore, this 6 episode series presented in two parts serves up a
feast of family drama, all while maintaining a vivid, humorous tone, and leaving
viewers hungry for more.
The Zweiflers is a comic-dramatic, multigenerational saga
following the travails of an extended Jewish family sorting out the future of
its vast delicatessen empire in contemporary Germany. Family patriarch Symcha
Zweifler (Mike Burstyn) wants to sell his delicatessan empire when suddenly, he
is being confronted with his past in Frankfurt's red light district. Things get
worse when Symcha's grandson Samuel and his girlfriend Saba are expecting a
son. A tragi-comic search for meaning of life begins.
Between Frankfurt and Berlin, two cities as vibrant as New
York can be, this contemporary tale of a Jewish family tells the story of the
inheritance of the family delicatessen between three, soon to be four,
generations of Zweiflers. Led by an incredible ensemble cast, the series shows
how the past of some and the future of others come to clash, for the greatest
joy of the audience. With: Mike Burstyn (Kuni Lemel, The Komediant), Sunnyi
Melles (Triangle of Sadness), Aaron Altaras (Unorthodox), Mark Ivanir (Schindler's
List) and more...
