Years before Akiva Shtisel and Libbi crossed paths, Kugel takes us to Antwerp, Belgium, where Nuchem, a charming yet rule-bending jewelry dealer, juggles ambition, love, and family drama. As his marriage crumbles, his daughter Libbi dreams of becoming a writer—until a chance encounter on an Antwerp tram changes everything. Told with the humor and heart that made Shtisel a global sensation, Kugel explores love, ambition, and the delicate balance between tradition and individuality. From the creators of Shtisel, this is a deliciously complex story you won’t want to miss!
