THE STORY: The Price family has gathered for one last Seder. Matriarch Lily has been taking care of her Alzheimer’s-stricken husband, Marvin, for years, but the family has decided it’s best for all involved parties to move him into an assisted-living facility. Lily and Marvin’s four daughters and their plus-ones—ranging from brand-new to longtime partners—all arrive at the girls’ childhood home to help with the transition and instead end up fighting, divvying up keepsakes, and reliving memories. The Prices, who are always ready for a laugh or a cry, must face a bittersweet future as their family changes for good.
