Writer, Director, Producer, and Actress Genevieve Adams discusses with Jan Price her new film, “Simchas and Sorrows," currently available to stream digitally across video-on-demand platforms!

SIMCHAS AND SORROWS is an independent romantic comedy about a secular, free-spirited artist and former Catholic school girl, Agnes, who must come to terms with religion in order to marry the love of her life - Levi. Shocked by a surprise pregnancy, the earnest Agnes agrees to begin converting to Judaism in an effort to be accepted by Levi's more conservative Jewish family. Learning to join the tribe and follow the herd is no easy task for someone who has spent her whole life questioning and breaking the rules. As Agnes and Levi study with the progressive, courageous Rabbi Cohen, they discover all is not what it appears to be on the surface. As family secrets come to light, Agnes and Levi are forced to grapple with life's big questions. The film explores an evolving modern Judaism, orthodoxies and hypocrisy, sibling rivalry, modern love, mental illness, artistic inheritance, and antisemitism.
