Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

Twenty-something college student Danielle (Rachel Sennott) dedicates herself to her progressive studies in the city, away from the claustrophobic embrace of her traditional Jewish family. When a death in the family forces Danielle to return home, she must navigate a memorial service fraught with judgment, familial tension, and unexpected complications as the older man she is seeing (Danny Deferrari) shows up with his partner (Dianna Agron) in tow. Written and directed by Emma Seligman. Co-starring Molly Gordon and Polly Draper.
