About Grape Leaves
Marcus Mansour, third-generation Lebanese-American, is helping his family run the Lebanese Festival at his church in a changing Buffalo, NY. He feels disconnected, though, from his family and the festival. His sister is embroiled in a toxic relationship, his dad has announced his remarriage, and worst of all, his grandma won't share the family recipes. So when the new priest asks him to take charge of the festival's operations, Marcus sees an opportunity to gain a deeper connection with himself and his identity. Then a surprise blizzard hits the festival.
