SYNOPSIS:

Canadian comedy duo YidLife Crisis—Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman—bring their Yiddish-infused lens to an unexpected locale: Stockholm. Part travelogue, part cultural exploration, part comedy special, Swedishkayt is a hilarious deep dive into Swedish Jewish life, past and present. Through quirky encounters, historical surprises, and on-the-fly discoveries—including the fact that Yiddish is a protected minority language in Sweden—the pair explore 250 years of Jewish presence in the country, from the first immigrants to today’s thriving but often overlooked community.
