An old-fashioned Jewish
father vows to bring his stubborn family together after being slipped a
dose of ecstasy during the annual Passover celebration in director Salvador
Lityak's psychedelic Seder comedy. Family patriarch Ira Stuckman (Michael
Lerner) has taken a few tips from his hard-nosed father, Arthur (Jack Klugman),
when it comes to matters of the family. A strict disciplinarian with little
tolerance for tomfoolery, stubborn Ira is insistent that the whole family
come together for the Seder feast despite their lingering disagreements.
When Ira's son, Zeke (Ben Feldman), drops a hit of ecstasy into his father's
meal in hopes of opening the old man's eyes up to a "new perspective,"
the once curmudgeonly father turns suddenly touchy-feely before insisting
upon on ushering in a new era of forgiveness among the notoriously disagreeable
clan.
