“Loving Leah,” which premieres tomorrow at 9 pm, explores the ancient levirat a law that says that the deceased husband’s brother, himself, should marry his widow, Leah is in this case, played by Ambrosio.
“I thought it was very sweet, a story about a girl who lives in this community very protected,” said Ambrose. “But she needs to see a larger world and find a way to do it.”
Ultimately, Leah and her brother, Jake, played by Adam Kaufman, develop a plan that satisfies both tradition and allows Leah to pursue their dreams.
“This character not to leave the community, but the people I met were so happy in their faith and believe that there was no obligation to those who lived the way they do, is a deep faith,” said Ambrosio. “But if anyone has considered that a call or a passion in life, then you should explore.”
Ambrose, who just said a person involved in the upcoming Spike Jonze “Where the wild things Åre and is rehearsing for the Broadway play” Exit the King, “says what the public should take away from” Loving Leah “is that his character is not fleeing, but rather trying to find their own way.
“It was a tough, strict religious place that is difficult to be in. She is leaving a supportive community of people that I love,” said Ambrosio.
