Masel Tov Cocktail, directed by Arkadij Khaet and Michkey Paatzsch is an award-winning short fiction film that provides a thoughtful yet entertaining perspective of Jewish life in Germany. Nineteen-year-old Dimitrij Liebermann punched Tobi in the face. Now he’s supposed to apologize to him. But Dimitrij doesn’t exactly feel sorry.
