The first day of Rosh Hashana. Intimate families perform prayer rituals in the park. Two characters in their early thirties, Josh and Olivia, will soon get married. He is a Modern Orthodox Jew and she converted from Catholicism to Judaism. Josh's father, Harry, is an ironic agnostic. Josh's great-grandmother, Claire, remains largely silent, but clearly loving. After getting married, Claire meets Josh and Olivia on a beach outing and makes an amazing confession. She starts it indirectly by showing the photos she keeps in the safe deposit box. It's a strange place to protect the past, but Claire has a very good reason to hide her. Not only was her beloved patriarch not Jewish, she was also a member of the Nazi Party in World War II Germany. Claire, who remains anti-Semitic but still claims she loves Jewish children, suffers from a brain tumor. She wants to travel from New York to assist suicide.
