Based on a true story, A Pickle follows Doris Rubenstein and her famous, traditional kosher dill pickles. For the second year in a row, the Minnesota State Fair rejects Doris Rubenstein’s traditional kosher dill pickles. When Doris confronts the judges, it becomes clear that they don’t understand her traditional Jewish brining process. They also inform her that they have “a difficult time judging recently arrive immigrant groups.” Doris realizes there’s more than pickles fermenting, there’s hell to raise. A Pickle is a dark comedic look at prejudice and the power of Chutzpah.
