"Unholy" centers on Noa, a 20-year-old living with Short Bowel Syndrome, who attends her family’s Passover Seder while using a feeding tube for nutrition. Surrounded by well-meaning but often insensitive relatives, Noa struggles to fit in with a family that no longer understands her. As her family tries to look past her illness to find "normalcy," Noa feels increasingly isolated, unable to partake in the traditional foods and rituals she once cherished. In the end, she expresses to her father her fear of losing the holiness she once found in prayer and food. Her father offers emotional support through a traditional blessing, reaffirming Noa’s place in the family.
