Painting a picture of Bena Shklyanoy's life in the Soviet Union, the play captures Bena and her family’s agonizing decision to flee the USSR. Facing the edge of the world they closed their eyes and jumped, arriving to the United States in the 1970's with the help of the Save the Soviet Jewry movement.
