A dark haired non binary Jewish person sits amongst the men in the men's section of a synagogue.

Synopsis

On Yom Kippur, Alex struggles to atone for their sins when they imagine themself in the men’s section at synagogue and feel a magnetic attraction to Jess in the women’s section. Afterwards, the two butt heads at a Break Fast event and Jess invites Alex to a queer Jewish club event. But would that raucous space provide freedom or disorientation?
