Having exhausted all fundraising possibilities in his hometown of Buenos Aires, and with a heartless moneylender at his heels, exasperated Rabbi Aaron embarks on a trip to Taiwan, where, he was told, wealthy donors would be happy to financially support his community. Traveling around the country, taking in the sights, and connecting with locals help Aaron save not only his synagogue and congregation but also his marriage. A heartwarming and uplifting dramedy about the importance of family, community, and hope.
