New England Premiere

At the end of the Civil War, a severely wounded Jewish Confederate officer returns to his family’s home in Richmond, VA. The house is in ruins and has been abandoned except for two newly freed slaves, reared in the Jewish faith by the soldier’s family. As they await the family’s return, the three men share a Passover Seder where deeply buried secrets are revealed that threaten to destroy their shared faith, their new found freedom and their hope for the future.
