A moving drama about freedom and faith. In the last days of the Civil War, Caleb, a
wounded young Confederate officer staggers into his family’s war-ravaged home
in Richmond, Virginia. He finds that his
family has fled, leaving behind only two former slaves, Simon and John, to
protect the property. Caleb, maimed and
disillusioned by war, has lost his faith. John is using his new freedom to
plunder the deserted homes of the neighborhood.
Only Simon retains a steadfast moral compass, sustained by the family
faith – which is Jewish. In a powerful
scene, he organizes a Passover Seder that celebrates not only the deliverance
of the Israelites from Pharaoh’s bondage, but the emancipation of his own
people from slavery. The three men grapple with their new relationship and
interdependency, not as master and slave, but as comrades and brothers.
