Moishe Badhan was once Jerusalem's most sought-after wedding entertainer, until drink drowned his career. Now his daughter is finally engaged, and he can't afford to pay for her wedding. Salvation arrives with Srulik, a childhood friend turned American success story, who has returned to celebrate his own son's wedding. Unfortunately, Srulik brings Meshulem, America's flashiest badhan, whose style mocks all Moishe holds sacred. As old rivalries and wounds collide, Moishe must wrestle his pride and thirst to save the one thing he cannot lose: his daughter's future.
