25th Annual Hartford Jewish Virtual Film Festival | Shiva Baby

Comedy | 2020 | USA | 77 minutes | English

Directed by Emma Seligman

When Danielle joins her family at a shiva, the last person she expects to run into is Max, the ‘sugar daddy’ she said goodbye to just a few hours earlier. With this unexpected clash of her worlds, Danielle is forced into juggling multiple roles: the good Jewish daughter, entertaining small talk with estranged relatives, playing it cool with her ex-girlfriend Maya, and keeping her relationship with Max a secret. A provocative and comedic examination of relationships in the ‘hook-up’ culture of the digital age.
