AN AMERICAN PICKLE
When Hershel Greenbaum’s hometown in Eastern Europe is taken over by Cossacks, he and his wife Sarah decide to emigrate to America to fulfil his American Dream. No longer after his arrival, he has an accident in a pickle factory, falls into a vat of pickles where he is preserved for 100 years. He is finally discovered and woken up in the Brooklyn of 2019. Still determined to follow his dreams and to honour his background, Hershel sets out to build a pickle empire. Most of all, he hopes to set an example for his great-grandson Ben, his only living relative, who Hershel considers to be a lazy bum. Ben, in return, who was initially happy about the new addition to the family, is growing more and more annoyed of Hershel’s narrow-minded opinions and the irrational behaviour he displays on a daily basis. Seth Rogen hilariously portrays both Hershel and Ben. Lots of laughter guaranteed!
