The film revolves around an eventful Jewish Moroccan family wedding and the traditional blessings that are said for the next seven nights of ceremonies and meals with loved ones. Behind the comedy of errors that ensues, there are secrets, lies, and a painful old wound that forces them to confront the past while wrecking the present, all entwined in this acclaimed story about fury, forgiveness, and food.
