GO FOR ZUCKER stars Henry Hübchen and Udo Samel as two brothers-- Jaeckie Zucker, a hard-living, hustling former East German celebrity sportscaster (Hübchen), and his quasi-Orthodox brother Samuel from the West (Samel). Jaeckie is up to his ears in debt again--facing jail, divorce and general ruin--when word comes that his mother has died, leaving an inheritance. But according to his mother's will, before he can cash in Zucker first must reconcile with his long-estranged brother, who is arriving the next day, family in tow, expecting to sit shiva for seven days. Can the secular Zucker and his non-Jewish wife pass as observant? And will he be able to sneak away to compete in a high-stakes pool tournament? The film also stars leading German actress Hannelore Elsner as Zucker's hard-pressed wife and the Warsaw-based Yiddish diva Golda Tencer as the religious brother's extravagantly pragmatic wife.

It’s been a year since I watched a Belgian road movie where a Jewish family decided to travel to Ukraine to bury their grandfather, whom they almost never met, there. Go for Zucker! is a very similar movie with a similar premise and a similar plot, but it’s still absolutely amazing to watch. It has a good pace, you laugh, you even learn something from a world you don’t get to see every day. And it’s all narrated in the current frantic world, where you often wonder whether the believers even have time to worship anymore. It’s a good comedy and Germany again scored with me.
