György Dalos – The Circumcision

"A self-proclaimed 'Hungarian Communist Jew for Christ', twelve-year-old Robi Singer has a lot on his plate. He is a 'half-orphan', he is painfully overweight and what's more, he has yet to be circumcised. With his Bar Mitzvah fast approaching, the pressure is on. To make matters worse, Robi's not sure he wants to be Jewish at all." "As his hypochondriac mother is more concerned about her secret affair with 'Uncle' Moric, Robi's only ally against the teachers at his Jewish school is his eccentric, headstrong grandmother. It seems everyone has an opinion on what he should do, but ultimately Robi must make his own decision."-
