The Order Of Discourse

Our film explores the Obermayer family's century old tradition of the family Seder. For 100 years in a row, generations have gathered to celebrate and honor this tradition, using it to not only reunite in both good times and bad, but also share (and sometimes disagree) about their ever changing world over ten decades.
