Matchmaking - English subtitled
This film about a forbidden love in Jewish Orthodox circles was a hit in Israeli cinemas.
Moti Bernstein is the son every mother wants, a student every rabbi loves to teach, the perfect match for every bride. He has it all: a good family, a good brain, and he’s not bad looking either. Looking for a wife, he meets the most desirable girls in the Jewish Orthodox community, but he falls for the one girl he can never have. The only one he wants is Nechama, a Sephardic girl. Since Nechama is not from an Ashkenazi family, Moti’s family will never accept her. Nevertheless, Moti enlists the help of Baruch Auerbach, an aging bachelor, to help him reach her. Who will win? The system or love?
