Based on the stories of Sholem Aleichem, the universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion. In the little village of Anatevka, Tevye, a poor milkman is trying to keep his family's traditions in place. Yet, times are changing. And when Tevye's daughters want to make their own matches, he must choose between his own daughters' happiness and those beloved traditions that keep the outside world at bay. Yet it is Tevye's love of his family, pride and faith that help him face the dangerous force in Anatevka, which threaten to destroy the very life he and his fellow villagers are trying to preserve.
