Nuchem lives with his beautiful wife, Yides, and daughter, Libbi, in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community of Antwerp, Belgium. Yides designs wedding dresses for women in the community and Nuchem is a dealer who mostly sells jewelry to rich ultra-orthodox women. Nuchem and Yides are having trouble finding a suitable match for their only child, their wonderful daughter Libbi. Libbi is a teacher at a women’s seminar, but her true passion is writing.

Nuchem is reeling from his separation from his wife Yides. He still loves her and hopes she’ll change her mind, but Yides is determined to get a divorce – right after they close a suitable match for Libbi, so that the divorce won’t hurt the match. Libbi asks her father to set a date with the young man she met on the tram, but her father is against her meeting some random guy and not through a pre-arranged match.
