Four overweight friends from the Israeli city of Ramle are fed up with dieting and the dieting club they belong to. When Herzl (340 lbs) loses his job as a cook and starts working as a dishwasher in a Japanese restaurant in Ramle, he discovers the world of Sumo where large people such as himself are honored and appreciated. Through Kitano (132 lbs), the restaurant owner, a former Sumo coach in Japan (who is supposedly hiding from the Yakuza in Israel), he falls in love with a sport involving "two fatsos in diapers and girly hairdos." A Matter of Size is a comedy about a coming out of a different kind--overweight people learning to accept themselves.
Poi Dogs is the story of two local Hawaii teenagers and their awkward attempts at expressing a budding romantic interest in each other. The film charmingly captures innocence amidst the atmosphere of Hawaii's aging sugar factories.
