In a cramped synagogue in north-west London, the eminent elderly rabbi passes away. On the other side of the Atlantic, his estranged daughter, Ronit, hears of her father's death and returns to London for the funeral. This is an entertaining portrayal of characters caught between two worlds, and an exploration of sexuality, tolerance and faith.
