Loving Leah

“A love story that defies tradition.”

In a Jewish community where the ancient law of yibbum still holds, Leah (Lauren Ambrose) loses her husband Benjamin suddenly and without a child to carry his name. His brother Jake Lever (Adam Kaufman), a non-observant bachelor, is stunned to learn he is expected to marry her, and he proposes a platonic marriage kept secret from everyone. Jeff Bleckner follows Leah as she tries to honor her husband's memory while learning a stranger's world, and her own.
