With themes of loyalty, memory, and a Jewish nostalgia for a "lost home," this tenderly told story unravels with humor and sadness the lives and journeys of a family with individuals that seek to branch out and continue to feed on the nourishment of family roots. Withstanding a series of separations and chance reunions, this weathered but strong family creates a tree marked with the growth rings of time patterns of love and joy and fear and fragility that keep families together.
