The Wanderers Tickets

Abe, a celebrated writer with a restless spirit and open disdain for religion—including his own. He married to Sophie, a fellow writer who is half Black and half Jewish. Her first book was overlooked, and she doubts she has another in her—Abe has his doubts too. Their marriage, while rooted in love, is marked by tension, quiet rivalry, and unresolved discontent.

Then an unexpected email from a movie star sets Abe on a flirtatious, increasingly risky journey. What starts as curiosity spirals into something deeper—an unravelling of long-buried truths, threatening his marriage, his sense of self, and the life he thought he built.

Meanwhile, 40 years earlier, Esther and Schmuli are shy young Orthodox Jews entering an arranged marriage after only one meeting. Esther finds herself suffocated by the strictures of her ultra-religious world. With quiet courage, she escapes—with her third child—and begins a new, uncertain life.

These two narratives intertwine in The Wanderers, a story about longing, connection, and the invisible threads that bind us across generations. Can we ever truly escape the inheritance of our past?
