Fresh from San Francisco via Amtrak, ashes of her mother in tow, zany Rachel Sondheim lands in New York to bury them.

She struggles against the odds, not only of Jewish law and history, but that of her older sister. Comic and serious by turns, Rachel weaves her way through high-jinx that counterpoint weighty discussions of mother and daughter, sister and sister, life and death, God.

Through laughter and tears DAUGHTER shows us how modern spirituality thrives on its ancient connections.
