When Leah's husband Benjamin dies suddenly, Benjamin's brother Jake is stunned to learn he is expected to marry the childless Leah to carry on his brother's name. Jake suggests to Leah that they get married and maintain a secretly platonic relationship. The harder they try to disguise their "pretend" marriage, the more their appreciation for each other's worlds grow, and out of understanding, a real love develops.

Unexpected. Worth the time.

I have been pleasantly surprised by this movie. The level of acting was verry good, the story was excellent and I liked it very much.How do you explain a religious tradition? This movie succeeded in bringing non-Jewish viewers in contact with a specific tradition from the Jewish religion.The characters were portrayed very well by the cast.Most movies for me are just to pass the time, this, however, made me pay attention. I chose it as a romantic movie, but it was so much more.I hope there are more of these movies to follow. And I learned to look beyond the cast. That was an eyeopener for me.

Sweet movie

Just watched it again - probably for the sixth time. It is such a sweet movie. All of the actors did a wonderful job. Lauren Ambrose is so believable in this role. She show true raw emotion. It's one I will watch over and over - and never get tired of it.
