In ancient Greece, a young princess faces the king's order that one of her brothers who fought in the war should not be buried. Antigone buries her brother and pays for it with her life. Antigone's act is sacred, it obeys the human law of caring for our dead. King Creon's act is a political act, a punishment. Who is right? Inspired by Sophocles' play.

An uninterrupted rehearsal of Chekhov's 'Uncle Vanya' plays out by a company of actors. The setting: their run-down theater with an unusable stage and crumbling ceiling. The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.

Back from a tour of duty, Kelli struggles to find her place in her family and the rust-belt town she no longer recognizes.
