Moshe and Mali, a poor and childless Orthodox couple, find themselves penniless on the eve of the Jewish holy day of Succoth. They pray for assistance from the Lord and the impossible happens: Moshe and Mali are the beneficiaries of an unexpected charitable donation. God has taken pity on them, or so it seems, until two escaped convicts show up on their doorstep. Worried the visitors may be messengers of God, the couple follow the custom of receiving guests for the holy day and extend their hospitality. They soon learn God works in mysterious ways as their faith is put to the ultimate test when the convicts bring chaos into their gentle community.
