Jakub Sussman is a sensitive, intelligent boy who rebels against the strictures of his pious and repressive home. His older sister, Tzila, is a passionate artist who is frustrated by Jakub's reluctance to explore his own potential. Meanwhile, their father, a successful tailor, is struggling to hold on to the traditions of his heritage while trying to build a new life in America. Ultimately, the family's individual quests intersect and their shared experiences help to shape their understanding of the world.
