May, an American woman of Jordanian ancestry, is the author of a successful book and lives a life of refinement in New York City. Amidst preparations for her wedding, the young woman flies to Jordan in order to enjoy summer with her family. Faced with her relatives’ resistance towards her wedding and her parents’ divorce procedures, May must reassess her entire life. With humor and profound affection towards her characters, director, author and leading actress Cherien Dabis lightly conducts a narrative characterized by a strong sense of cultural identity.
