About film
The Chop tells the story of Yossi, a charismatic Kosher butcher, who finds himself in crisis after losing his job. After his attempts to find employment with other kosher butchers prove futile, he makes the unusual decision to get hired to a halal butcher - and he will have to do his best to trick his potential employers. This farcical comedy explores the relationship between Jewish and Muslim cultures in modern London.
