To Dust

American Hasidic Jew, Shmuel (Geza Rohrig), loses his beloved wife, Rivka (Leanne Watson), to cancer. Now he lives with his mother, two sons, and a terrible longing. While his mother advises Shmuel to "move on" and marry again, the children think that a dibbuk, the spirit of Rivka, has moved into their father. Longing and excitement drive Shmuel to look for answers to unexpected questions. What worries him most is the thought of what happens to his beloved wife's body after burial and how quickly she turns to dust. To find answers and religious solace, Shmuel initially approaches a rabbi, but then forms an unlikely partnership with a professor of biology (Matthew Broderick).
