Michal is 32 years old. She became religious 12 years ago, and only now is she getting married. A month before the wedding, while checking out the catering for the event, the groom has a change of heart and the wedding is called off. Michal feels she’s unable to go back to ordinary life, to the usual course of matchmaking. She feels this is the moment to change something very basic in her personality. A simple belief that God is good and sweet; that He wants to give and is only waiting for her to wish it. Michal goes on a month-long journey lasting up to the planned wedding day: “I have the venue, the dress, the apartment; God can easily come up with my groom.”

Strict religious traditions and the rigid expectations of a communal lifestyle create a suffocating backdrop for a bride whose wedding vanishes just weeks before the ceremony. This sharp comedy captures the frantic, awkward scramble to reclaim an identity that was nearly surrendered to a lifelong commitment.
