An evocative film adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer's most beloved short works. The film tells the moving story of Jewish refugees in post-World War II New York city as they try to escape their past. The main location of the story is a cafeteria -- an orginal which burns to the ground -- and its replacement, a new flashy eatery. This vignette considers how the past returns to haunt the living.
