Well to do dysfunctional Jewish family
Bad Jews
The night after their grandfather’s funeral, three cousins engage in a verbal (and sometimes physical) battle. In one corner is Daphna Feygenbam, a “Real Jew” who is volatile, self-assure, and unbending. In the other is her equally stubborn cousin Liam, a secular and entitled young man, who has his shiksa girlfriend, Melody, in tow. Stuck in the middle is Liam’s brother, Jonah, who tries to stay out of the fray. When Liam stakes claim to their grandfather's Chai necklace, a vicious and hilarious brawl over family, faith, and legacy ensues.

Back to My Roots
Four generations of a Jewish family live under one roof. Despite living next door to a synagogue, the Abramovich’s, with the exception of Grandmother Musa, are not strong on Jewish tradition, religion or identity: Boris’ business is buying, selling (and eating) pork. Meanwhile his son, David hides his origins from his friends, and his wife, Alla has no idea how much she resembles the stereotypical Jewish mother. Everything changes one day when Boris is struck by lightning. While unconscious, he is visited by the spirit of Haim, a long dead and somewhat obnoxious family ancestor. Haim reveals that a long time ago he committed a terrible sin, which resulted in a curse being placed on the entire family. It turns out that only Boris can remove the curse – by setting free Haim’s soul!

Holiday Hostage

Before they can make their getaway, Gary, a deranged ex-convict, breaks in and takes the family hostage.

Can this family make peace with each other before they’re offed? Oy vey!
It Runs in the Family
This is the story of a dysfunctional New York family, and their attempts to reconcile
Left Luggage
While escaping from Nazis during the WWII, a Jewish man dug suitcases full of things dear to his heart in the ground two. The war deprived him of his family, and afterwards he endlessly turns over the soil of Antwerp to find the suitcases, which makes him look obsessed. He keeps checking old maps and keeps digging, trying to find, in fact, those he lost. His daughter Chaya is a beautiful modern girl looking for a part-time job. She finds a place as a nanny in the strictly observant Chassidic family with many children, although her secular manners clearly fly in the face of many commandments. One of the reasons she is accepted is that mother of the family is absolutely overburdened by the household, so she stays despite the resistance of the father, normally - an indisputable authority in the family. She develops a special bond with the youngest of the boys, four-year old Simcha, so far incapable of speaking.
