Watch Uncle Chaim

Families are universal; so, too, are family secrets. Uncle Chaim (Steve Arons) is a mentally handicapped man, shunned since childhood, especially by his younger brother, Abie (Mark Bellows). Abie can't bear the thought of his outlandish behavior; he's never even revealed Chaim's existence to his own son, Danny (Michael Fricker) or to the congregation of his own ultra-orthodox shul. Come this Sabbath, lives will change. At a crossroads, Abie must choose: let Chaim back into his life, and risk his son's love, or reject Chaim, and suffer the consequences of conscience. Every denial is just one more shaky wall in Abie's house of cards -- until it all comes crashing down.
