Plus Size Plus Size Screenwriters: Chilik Michaeli Producer/s Chilik Michaeli , United Channels Movies (UCM) Language: Hebrew, Japanese Format: 6 Episodes x 45 Minutes Genre Comedy Send PITCHDECK LOGLINE Four women from a run-down suburb rebel against sexism and the dictatorship of thinness, by forming a women’s sumo team, rocking their conservative town and redefining love and self-worth. SYNOPSIS Bat-El Messika - the daughter of Israel’s first sumo wrestler - is under pressure. Her parents and fiancé expect her to lose enough weight to fit into a wedding dress by undergoing gastric bypass surgery. Instead of complying, Bat-El rebels: she escapes the operating table and starts an all-female sumo wrestling group for plus-size women like herself. As Bat-El attempts to build a “normal life” with her devoted partner, Haim Bachar - a loving and dependable man - her carefully balanced world is shaken by the unexpected return of Maya, the woman who once bullied her as a child. When Maya joins the sumo group, Bat-El is forced to confront her past. What begins as unresolved tension evolves into an intense emotional and sexual attraction, pushing Bat-El toward a painful choice: social security, marriage, and conformity - or desire for another woman and a journey of self-discovery. In parallel, a second romantic storyline unfolds. Bat-El’s father, Herzl, becomes the group’s coach and clings to physical strength and honor in a desperate attempt to win back his ex-wife, Zehava - Bat-El’s mother. But Zehava is now dating Aharon, Herzl’s former sumo rival turned diet guru - and Maya’s controlling father. When the group receives an opportunity to represent Israel in an amateur sumo competition in Japan - all conflicts erupt at a boiling point - only one wrestler will earn the right to travel to Japan as Israel’s sole representative. Between wedding dress fittings that end in rips, a secret affair with Maya hidden from her fiancé Haim, extreme diets that implode, and sumo matches that end in heated ties, Bat-El realizes that a safe life is suffocating her, and like in a classic romantic comedy, just before stepping into the ring for the decisive sumo tournament, she gives up the sumo competition and runs to the airport, still in her sumo underwear, to stop Maya from leaving. WRITER'S STATEMENT “Plus Size” continues the spirit of our earlier work, this time through the form of powerful, fearless, plus-size women who break into the Israeli sumo arena. This is a romantic comedy series about liberation from the conditioning of body image. Our heroine, Bat-El, who frees herself from the dictates of body image, realizes that now it is also the time to free herself from another form of restricting conditioning- marriage, weddings, and the prescriptions of the "right life". The wrestling group is composed of four plus-size women -intelligent, humorous, sexy, and groundbreaking-just as women in the past broke into sports once reserved for men, such as soccer, basketball, boxing, freestyle wrestling, pole vaulting, weightlifting, ice hockey, and more. This time, it is sumo’s turn. The artistic intention is to combine sharp, bold humor with exposed emotion, exposed skin. The dynamic between Bat-El and Maya moves between athletic rivalry and romantic attraction, and between a wounded past and a surprising present - along a tonal axis that shifts from funny, to painful, to moving. The visual design will blend traditional Japanese aesthetics - the cleanliness and precision of a Japanese restaurant, and the delicate, matchstick-like quality of forest trees - with the vibrant colors of contemporary rural city in Israel . Sumo garments, the coach’s black attire, and traditional Japanese red will merge with forest green and shifting lighting. This visual contrast will serve the tone of this romantic comedy, where heightened color, physical presence, and moments of visual exaggeration support both humor and emotional intimacy, allowing tenderness, desire, and vulnerability to emerge through movement, touch, and the charged space of the ring.

Sharon also co-directed A Matter of Size (2009) with Erez Tadmor - that premiered at Tribeca Film Festival. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT Plus Size is a fresh funny romantic comedy, bold, and emotionally rich new TV series currently in development. At its heart is the story of a group of women who decide to challenge the expectations placed on their bodies, their desires, and their right to define themselves. What begins as a personal journey for each of them gradually evolves into a warm, funny, and deeply human romantic comedy, anchored by an impossible three way love story that pushes them to confront who they truly are. For us as producers, this project is both a privilege and a creative joy. It offers a rare opportunity to reconnect with the remarkable talents of Sharon Maymon and Erez Tadmor, artists we know, trust, and admire. Their ability to blend humor, heart, and authentic emotion has created a world in which the story, characters, and tone come together to form something greater than the sum of all of the parts creating it. We are genuinely excited about Plus Size and confident that it will grow into a successful, engaging, and widely loved television series.

The Lampshade Add a Title Add a Title Send Send Yoav Gross Producers: , Tomer Shushan The Lampshade Lab Edition 3 2024 PITCH LOGLINE Omer Atias, a private investigator, is sent to Berlin by a dying Holocaust survivor to retrieve a lampshade crafted from his skin, plunging into a perilous Nazi underworld to honor his final wish to be buried whole. SYNOPSIS Omer Atias, 29, a hesitant private investigator, is sent to Berlin by the dying Holocaust survivor Joseph Adler to retrieve a mysterious lampshade. As Omer delves deeper into his investigation, he discovers that the lampshade was crafted by Ilse Koch, the notorious wife of Buchenwald’s commander, and made from Joseph's own skin. Immersed in a dark underworld of secret auctions and neo-Nazi conspiracies, Omer’s journey to fulfill Joseph’s last wish—to be buried whole—turns into a struggle for survival. WRITER'S STATEMENT As a film student, I volunteered with a Holocaust survivor foundation, where I met Joseph, a Buchenwald survivor. His haunting stories of Ilse Koch, the "Witch of Buchenwald," and her grim legacy human-skin artworks stayed with me. Years later, I met Alexa, a German volunteer, and we fell in love. Visiting her family in Bavaria, I sensed the lingering shadows of history—hidden relics and unspoken guilt. One day, I accidentally entered the wrong room and found Nazi memorabilia and photos of her high-ranking SS grandfather. These experiences inspired me to create "The Lampshade," a Berlin-based detective series where history's dark echoes haunt the present. PRODUCER'S STATEMENT At Yoav Gross Productions, we are committed to exploring the depths of history and its lingering effects on the present, particularly the Holocaust, through storytelling that is both unique and profoundly moving. Our founder, the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, carries a personal connection to this dark chapter of human history, inspiring our dedication to addressing it in ways that challenge conventional narratives. Yoav Gross Productions is dedicated to telling these stories with authenticity and creativity, ensuring that the Holocaust is remembered and explored in ways that provoke thought and discussion, honoring the past while engaging with the future.

The Vacation The Vacation Dénes Nagy Producers Sára László, Olivier Dubois, Marcell Gerő, Jean-Laurent Csinidis Lab Edition 12 , 2024 SCENE PITCH Production Campfilm, Hungary; Films De Force Majeure, France; Novak Prod, Belgium Country Hungary, France, Belgium SYNOPSIS A Hungarian farm worker in his 40s goes on an organized trip to Provence with his wife. It's the first time they've been abroad, and they speak no language other than their own. During the trip, they make friends with another Hungarian couple, who seem to be more experienced travelers than they are. While his wife is excited by this new acquaintance, he feels more and more lost. He observes his wife slowly drifting away from him, which triggers an inner voyage of self-discovery. DIRECTOR'S NOTE The basic premise of the film is that it will be working with an amateur cast: to build on the presence of these characters, to record their inner uncertainties. Another important element is the comedy which stems from the protagonists’ ignorance. Our hearts open to these people: they are lost characters who try to stand their ground, but in the meantime, attempt to cover up their clumsiness. What can we do with realities that are alien to us? What do we do with the foreignness of ourselves? LOG LINE A Hungarian cattle farm worker in his mid-40s goes on an organized tourist holiday, with his wife, for the first time in his life, to Provence. It sets him off on an inner journey of discovery and understanding of his own freedom.
