Michal is 32 years
old and she is an Orthodox Jew.
She has arranged everything for her marriage but her fiancé cancels before their wedding. He said he doesn't love her. Michal
refuses to cancel the wedding arrangements and she plans to wait on God to
provide a groom within 30 days.
All the women in her family and her friends don’t understand what she is
doing? Even the owner of the wedding
venue doesn’t understand? He doesn't know whether to think she's crazy or respect her faith? She is
working with two different matchmakers but even this won’t guarantee a groom? She goes on arranged blind dates but they are
disasters.
It takes a LOT of
courage for Michal to refuse to abandon hope for a wedding. She also refuses to let the glitch of
her fiancé cancelling to change her plans. She doesn’t want to be alone during her journey through life
and she wonders if she may already be too old to find a groom? Michal has an unusual occupation, she has a traveling zoo. She has numerous
animals and also a long black harmless snake. Usually, children and adults are either drawn to or afraid of the snake? 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
