Relationships, romantic and familial, are the glue that binds these superb narrative shorts together. Set in homes, synagogues, and horse stables, these films showcase love affairs that have run their course, diametrically opposed sisters, overbearing parents, and absent ones. When situations go awry, characters ranging from the ultra-Orthodox to the secular navigate contemporary religious rituals, love, and loss in nuanced ways.
