Manasse

Lelia Cohanovici, a young Jewish woman from the capital, falls in love with Matei Frunză, a Christian, but her parents Nissim and Esther want her to marry Emil Horn. Old Manasse, her grandfather and the Cohanovici family's spiritual leader, travels from Fălticeni for the wedding. When Lelia runs away to Matei on the ceremony day, the family slowly accepts the couple's relationship and marriage plans—except the fanatic Manasse, who dies of bitterness as his efforts to stop them fail.
