A group of overweight people from the Israeli city of Ramla is fed up with the sanctity of diets and the "Dictatorship of the Thinness" of the diet workshop they participate in. They leave it and discover the world of sumo, where people like them are honored and appreciated. Through sumo they connect to themselves and to their bodies, each one in their own way. A Matter of Size is a movie about the coming out of the closet of overweight people and about their ability to accept and relate to their bodies through the world of sumo.
