Film on German Jews Today Sweeps German Film Awards
(Ha'aretz) Goel Pinto - A comedy about the life of Jews in Germany today swept six German film academy awards, besting the film "Downfall" about the last days of Hitler, which did not win a single prize. "Alles auf Zucker!" by German-Jewish director Dani Levy focuses on two Jewish brothers - Jaeckie Zucker, a secular man married to a German woman, a compulsive gambler and a billiards champion, and Samuel Zuckermann, an ultra-Orthodox rabbi. The two brothers haven't spoken to each other in 40 years, but their mother's will mandates that the two sons will receive their inheritance only on the condition that they reconcile.
