When Rochel (Zoe Lister Jones) and Nasira (Francis Benhamou) -- an Orthodox Jew and a Muslim, respectively -- meet as new teachers at a Brooklyn school, co-workers and students expect friction. But the women discover they have a shared expectation of entering into arranged marriages. As they experience tension between their traditional cultures and life in contemporary America, Rochel and Nasira form a special bond.
I was very please with this film. It has a tolerance message and it is done very tastefully. I appreciated the respect for tradition, and portrayal of close families. With our church leaders encouraging us to be more tolerant, I felt this was a good example of just what that means. This is a good Sunday afternoon viewing.-->Kimball
