What do you do when your relatives are coming over for dinner, but there's no food in sight?
A young man's search for a family recipe ends up bringing folk tales to life...in his kitchen.
Based on a collection of traditional Yiddish stories, 'The Magic Soup' teaches that it is those with wit, humor and imagination who have the best chance of filling their bellies -- and fulfilling their dreams.
