Nola, a sous chef, is seeking stability after a stay in a mental health facility. After a hectic dinner shift, she crashes her bike—and wakes to find her estranged, unhoused father, standing over her. As she takes him in, old wounds resurface, and her world unravels. Caught between past and present, love and loss, Nola must navigate grief, forgiveness, and the fragile hope of healing.

An offbeat, irreverent musical documentary that tells the story of a group of Jewish songwriters, including Irving Berlin, Mel Tormé, Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, Gloria Shayne Baker and Johnny Marks, who wrote the soundtrack to Christianity’s most musical holiday. It’s an amazing tale of immigrant outsiders who became irreplaceable players in pop culture’s mainstream – a generation of songwriters who found in Christmas the perfect holiday in which to imagine a better world, and for at least one day a year, make us believe.
