In this dramatic satire, a widow from a respected family and a Russian immigrant fight to prove to Orthodox authorities that their loved ones deserve to be buried as Jews. Peppering their poignant story with irony are an Orthodox Jewish pothead, a fumbling politician, a surgeon-turned-butcher and other eccentric characters.(Shoshelet Shvartz, 2006, Drama)
