Cherry Kompot is a family dramedy that follows Lev, a stubborn Jewish-Ukrainian senior, who refuses to sit shiva in the wake of his wife, Sonia's, death. To Lev, Sonia is not gone, but rather haunts him at every turn. When Florida retirees file into his home, Lev learns in a panic that his granddaughter Liza has arranged a surprise shiva. Lev resists sympathy and embarks on further attempts to rid himself of Sonia’s spirit. However, when his growing hysteria drives all the guests away, he is confronted with his truest fear: to find himself alone during this time of intense grief.
