Menashe, an ordinary employee of a New York grocer’s, struggles to make ends meet and is fighting for custody of his young son Rieven. Having lost his wife, the Hasidic tradition forbids him from raising his son alone. But the chief rabbi grants him a week with his son; the last chance for Menashe to prove that he can be a father whilst adhering to the rules of his community.
