An ultra-Orthodox Jewish young woman dreams of love and finding a match, but her mother seems unwilling to let go.

In the Jewish ultra-Orthodox world, marriage is by arrangement only.  Leah, a young woman just coming of age who works in her widowed mother's  store, is ready for love, but her mother seems unwilling to let her go. The appearance of a charismatic and forward thinking matchmaker threatens the fabric of Leah's close relationship with her mother.
