Simchas and Sorrows (2022)

　　"Simchas and Sorrows" is an independent romantic comedy about a secular, free-spirited artist and former Catholic schoolgirl, Agnes, who must come to terms with religion in order to marry the love of her life - Levi. Shocked by a surprise pregnancy, the earnest Agnes decides to begin converting to Judaism, in order to be accepted by Levi's more conservative Jewish family. Learning to join the tribe and follow the herd proves no easy task for someone who has spent her whole life questioning, and then breaking, the rules. As Agnes and Levi study with the progressive, courageous Rabbi Cohen, they discover all is not what it appears to be on the surface. As family secrets come to light, Agnes and Levi are forced to grapple with life's big questions. The film explores an evolving, modern Judaism, orthodoxies and hypocrisy, sibling rivalry, modern love, mental illness, artistic inheritance, and anti-semitism. 　　译文(2): 《辛哈与悲伤》是一部独立的浪漫喜剧，讲述了一个世俗、自由的艺术家和前天主教女学生艾格尼丝的故事。艾格尼丝必须接受宗教，才能嫁给她一生的挚爱——莱维。受到意外怀孕的惊吓，认真的艾格尼丝决定开始皈依犹太教，以便被利未更为保守的犹太家庭所接受。对于一个一生都在质疑，然后打破规则的人来说，学会加入部落，跟随兽群并不是一件容易的事。当 Agnes 和 Levi 研究进步的，勇敢的 Rabbi Cohen 时，他们发现一切都不是表面上看起来的那样。随着家庭秘密的曝光，艾格尼丝和利瓦伊不得不努力解决生活中的大问题。这部电影探讨了一个不断发展的现代犹太教，正统和伪善，兄弟姐妹的竞争，现代爱情，精神疾病，艺术遗产和反犹太主义。
