Child doll, Nurit, stands on a chair, in front of a table with a seder plate. She points at the plate.
Nurit: singing Seder plate, seder plate...
A wider angle reveals a wheelchair using doll at the other end of the table. Nurit gestures in surprise.
Nurit: Whoa! I've never seen you with the big girls before. Are you new?-
A medium shot of the wheelchair user. She's Black with a white patch on her forehead leading to a white patch of hair on an otherwise dark afro.
????: I'm--
Nurit has jumped off the chair, and is just visible behind the table. Her hands are up in the air.
*jump!*
Nurit is now standing on a chair at the center back of the table. She looks offscreen towards the other doll. In the foreground on the table is the seder plate and matzoh.
climb Nurit: I'm Nurit. Guess what tonight is.
Another image of Sulla, with more of the table in the foreground. The camera struggles to distinguish her dark face from her dark hair.
Sulla: What's tonight?
Nurit looks down at the seder plate, lost in thought.
...
Nurit is still looking at the seder plate. Sulla's hand is visible from the side of the table.
Nurit: How is this night different from all other nights?
Sulla sits in profile at the right of the screen. Nurit and the table are towards the middle left. Nurit spoints at the cups as she speaks.
Nurit: This Passover, we have wine for Elijah, water for Miriam, and wine for Ruth. She's like me, new to being Jewish. We have wine for her to show it's ok to be different, it's what's inside that counts.
Nurit has turned away from the plate and towards Sulla, who is offscreen.
Nurit: Are you hungry? Hungry people are welcome to our seder.
A middle shot of Sulla. Due to the angle, the camera is better at detecting her face.
Sulla: I'd like that.
Sulla sits to the left of the screen. Nurit and the table are to the left. Nurit's arms are out and wide in a cheering gesture.
Nurit: Yay!
