The death of the family matriarch, Rosa, is the catalyst for a series of comic vignettes in this box-office smash from France. Rosa has been defiantly secular her whole life, shunning rabbis and synagogues. But, when she dies, her family discovers that she had purchased a plot in the Jewish section of the cemetery. Confused and upset, they must put aside differences to see to Rosa's burial. As they come together, the Rashevskis begin to raise questions about their own Jewish identities and how much religiosity they're willing and able to incorporate into their lives.
