A family is trapped in an endless seder, searching for a lost afikoman through time.
Trapped in an endless Passover seder, a family faces an unusual dilemma: their afikoman is lost in time. Enter a wisecracking goat with a knack for time travel. Together with the family's 'wise child,' they embark on a journey through centuries of seders to retrieve the missing matzah. As they navigate the past, the child must uncover the right questions to ask, unraveling the true essence of Passover. Will they find the afikoman and break free, or remain forever at the table?
A family sits at the Passover seder table, but cannot find their afikoman–the hidden matzah required to end the meal–and as a result, they are trapped at a seder that cannot end. Six months in, a wisecracking talking goat shows up at their door with bad news: Thousands of years of previous seders have accumulated underneath their seder, and their afikoman is stuck in one of them. Now the family’s “wise child” must travel down with the goat through centuries of previous Passovers to find it–and to discover the questions he needs to start asking.
