It’s Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, a day for new beginnings. But two sisters don’t know how to move forward after the fight they had the night before.
As they gather for the ceremony of Tashlich, during which regrets from the previous year are symbolically cast away by throwing bits of bread into a body of water, the sisters reflect on their past mistakes and try to make amends. They can’t undo their actions, but they can start fresh again this year, if only they take the lessons of Tashlich to heart.
