Inspired by the homonymous short story by Montreal author, Mordecai Richler, Caroline Leaf's paint-on-glass animated fable attempts to probe into the diverse emotional reactions of a tightly-knit Jewish family to an ailing and dying grandmother. However, not all members feel the same. Some of them are devastated, some are stoical--while, others--can't wait to see a pending promise fulfilled.
