Moishe (Shuli Rand), once Jerusalem’s leading wedding badchan, has now fallen from grace and lives hand to mouth. When his thirty-one-year-old daughter miraculously gets a promising match, Moishe is tasked with raising twenty thousand dollars for the wedding expenses. All his attempts to come up with the money end in failure, until he is presented with an opportunity to obtain the funds and return to his glory days as a badchan.
