Three Jewish widows meet once a month for tea before going to visit their husbands’ graves. Ida is sweet tempered and ready to begin a new life; Lucille is a feisty embodiment of the girl who
just wants to have fun; and Doris is priggish and judgmental, particularly when Sam the butcher enters the scene. He meets the
widows while visiting his wife’s grave. Doris and Lucille squash the budding romance between Sam and Ida. They are guilt-stricken
when this nearly breaks Ida’s heart.
