The life of a Jewish family in contemporary Germany.
Family patriarch and Holocaust survivor Symcha Zweifler wants to sell his delicatessen empire when suddenly he is confronted with his past in Frankfurt’s red light district just after World War II
– an acid test for the whole family as long-suppressed conflicts resurface. Things get worse when Symcha’s grandson Samuel and his girlfriend Saba are expecting a son. A tragic-comic search for the meaning of life begins, culminating in decisions that will change the lives of everyone involved.
“The result is genuinely worth seeing, wonderfully acted, and at a time when confrontations have once again become part of everyday life, it is a welcome contribution that helps to foster dialogue a little and encourages a more nuanced perspective.” – Film Rezensionen
“First‑class television drama: carefully crafted, authentic and highly entertaining. Everything comes together here: the variety of wonderful characters, the excellent cast, the visual design, production design and music.” – Tittelbach.tv
“Without a doubt, ‘The Zweiflers’ is one of the best series of the year, thanks to its political and human complexity, its sense of humor, and its ability to address highly relevant issues with a certain nonchalance.” – En Primeira Fila
