Faced with their father
Marvin’s worsening Alzheimer’s, the four grown Price
daughters return for the final Passover celebration in
their childhood home. Lily, their overwhelmed mother
who's taken up cursing, is planning to put Marvin in a
nursing home and sell the house. Each daughter arrives
with her own baggage: Michelle picks up a total stranger
to pose as her nice Jewish boyfriend; Angel seduces her
ex on the roof; Claire fights with her fiancé about
wedding plans; Julia, pregnant with her lesbian life
partner, psychoanalyzes everyone except herself. Marvin
does not recognize any of them. But when he takes the
lead at their last seder, a magical moment occurs which
gives the women the strength and courage to finally move
forward. |
