Leo (writer-director Jonah Feingold) decides to have his Bar Mitzvah at the age of 31, recruiting his childhood crush, Eva (Sarah Coffey, in a breakout performance) as his tutor. His ambitious Mitzvah Project is a journey of self-knowledge and connection with his Jewish identity.
31 Candles is a funny and heartwarming 21st-Century riff on Annie Hall, portraying love, dating, and Jewish life for a new generation of New Yorkers. It features supporting performances from veteran New York character actors like Judy Gold and Caroline Aaron.
