Set in the little Russian village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to marry off his daughters and instill in them a sense of tradition in the face of growing anti-Semitism in Czarist Russia.
Tevye tries to protect his daughters and his way of life from a changing world.
In the end, the villagers are given the order to leave Anatevka in 3 days; banishing them from Russia and spreading them throughout the world.
