Arranged

An Orthodox Jewish woman and a Muslim woman meet as first-year teachers at a public school in Brooklyn, and over the course of a year they learn they share much in common - not least of which that they are both going through the process of arranged marriages. Rochel, a 22-year-old Jewish woman has endured hours with a match-making yenta, while Nasira, a Syrian-born muslim, awaits with trepidation the arrival of her new husband from her homeland. Whilst their fellow teachers feared their would be tension between the two, in fact they find themselves bonding not only over their marital situation, but also over the fish-out-of-water feelings they share in 21st century New York.
