Seven Blessings

Israel
108 minutes

Marie was two years old when she was given to her barren aunt, a common custom of Moroccan Jews at the time.  Forty years later, Marie returns from France to marry, and is walked down the aisle by both of her mothers.  During the Seven Blessings tradition, a week of festive meals in honor of the bride, old wounds and secrets surface and the celebration turns into a bittersweet explosion of food, family drama, and belated forgiveness.
