Jacob (1994)

In this inspiring tale from the book of Genesis, young shepherd Jacob (Matthew Modine) falls in love with and wants to marry Rachel (Lara Flynn Boyle), the daughter of his Uncle Laban (Giancarlo Giannini). Lacking a dowry, Jacob toils seven years as his uncle’s indentured servant to win Rachel’s hand. But calculating Laban dupes him into another seven years of labor. Irene Papas portrays Jacob’s iron-willed mother.
