Plot

In the tumultuous whirlwind of the Stuckmans' world, the stage is set for a Passover Seder of epic proportions, one that hasn't graced the family table for the past three years. Ira and Peggy Stuckman, the heads of this chaotic clan, find themselves in the eye of a familial hurricane. Their offspring, a motley crew composed of Ethan, a down-on-his-luck entrepreneur turned orthodox; Zeke, a misunderstood soul lost in a haze of drugs; Lionel, an autistic teenager; and Nikki, the family's resident sex therapist, add to the unique blend of personalities. Add to the mix their cousin Vanessa, Jennifer, their estranged lesbian half-sister, and a one-eyed Israeli salesman, and the dinner is as diverse as the modern Ten Plagues. The story unfolds during the "world's fastest Passover Seder," a dinner that is supposed to be "kosher enough for Moses." But when Zeke decides to give his hard-nosed father a "new perspective" by slipping him a hallucinogenic ecstasy pill, the evening takes an unexpected turn. Simultaneously, Peggy introduces a handsome stranger to the already combustible mix, sparking a schism among the children. As the night progresses, Ira's hallucinogenic trip transforms him into a modern-day Moses, hell-bent on leading his unruly tribe to the promised land of familial reconciliation. But with a family as stubborn as the Stuckmans, parting the Red Sea might seem an easier task than achieving harmony. "When Do We Eat?" is a riveting tale of a dysfunctional family navigating the treacherous waters of their relationships, testing the bonds of family and forgiveness, all within the confines of a single, unforgettable Passover Seder. This is a feast you won't want to miss, as it's packed with far more than just matzah and wine—it's a meal served with a hearty side of miracles, acceptance, and a dash of chaos.
