This unusual silent drama by director Eleanor Antin is supposedly a rediscovered "lost" film. In the tale, Zevi (Pier Marton) is a Yiddish poet who falls for Rukheleh (Christine Berry), the pretty daughter of a merchant living in a Jewish shtetl. While the poor writer wants to marry Rukheleh after getting her pregnant, her parents won't allow it, making for plenty of conflict. Meanwhile, Zevi's troubled sister, Sooreleh (Anna Henriques), contends with her own misfortune.
