Rochel is an Orthodox Jew, and Nasira a Muslim of Syrian origin. They are both young teachers at a public school in Brooklyn. They also have something else in common--they are going though the process of arranged marriages through their respective religions and traditional customs. With both family pressure on the one hand, and the rejection of traditional values by the outside world on the other, Rochel and Nasira will have to rely on each other and their friendship to pull through this difficult time of their lives, striving to be strong women in charge of their own happiness, while keeping their deep religious and cultural convictions.

The film presents quite a relatable view of a multicultural society. It has only confirmed my belief that minorities that are the most vocal because they are supposedly discriminated against by society are not exactly brimming with tolerance towards others themselves. The story itself was depressingly funny, the funniest part being the realization that if Jews and Muslims didn't call their god a different name, they wouldn't be that much different. The film only reinforced my certainty that it's best to be an atheist.
