Christians Grace and Jess are engaged to be married and are about to move into their first home together: a canal boat. Saying goodbye to family, friends and the church community they have been a part of for the last five years is a huge change, and they are relying on their faith to help them make the move.

Ivor is celebrating his 83rd birthday in an unusual way. He is having a second bar mitzvah, which happens to coincide with his 13-year-old grandson Zak's first bar mitzvah. The preparations for this milestone event take Ivor on a trip down memory lane to the area where he grew up, the market where he worked for 40 years and the grave of his beloved wife. Now he's happily living with his new partner of 12 years, Rita, and the bar mitzvah is the perfect opportunity to take stock of his life and make the most of growing older.Less
