SUMMARY:THE CUT
DESCRIPTION:In the nursery of their soon-to-be-born child\, Sarah and Drew are unpacking boxes and preparing for a new beginning. But when the question of circumcision arises\, the ordinary quickly turns urgent. Raised in deeply different religious traditions\, this couple finds themselves locked in a raw and revealing debate about their baby’s future — and their own. What starts as a single decision opens into buried wounds\, unspoken regrets\, and the fault lines of love and belief. The Cut is an intimate\, gripping two-hander about faith\, identity\, and partnership at a breaking point — asking what it truly takes to build a future when fundamental values collide.
