Chaim Kovler, a Yiddish writer, is a deeply troubled man. Haunted by the memories of the family and friends he lost during the holocaust, he survives by writing poetry and having the occasional one-night stand. In Montreal for a reading of his work, he pays a visit to Mount Royal for a moment of quiet reflection. There, he spots a group of orthodox Jews celebrating Rosh Hashanah. To his amazement one of the group is his old friend Hersh Rasseyner, who became his bitter enemy when Chaim left the orthodox path. Hersh, a pious and passionate descendent of an illustrious line of rabbis, has survived along with his faith. Galvanized by the suffering of his people, Hersh is more determined than ever to shut out the world to protect Judaism. Chaim and Hersh share tears of joy when they find each other, but quickly slip into the quarrel that tore them apart 15 years earlier. What ensues is the classic debate between the religious and secular worlds. Through the course of the film, which takes place in one day, they struggle with their love and hate for each other in an attempt at reconciliation. Finally, transcending their differences, they share their personal stories and come to a new understanding about themselves, their brotherhood, and the issues that really separate them.
