Marie was just two years old when her mother gifted her to her infertile sister, a common Moroccan custom at the time. 40 years later, Marie travels from France to Israel, where her family now lives, to marry her one true love. Her warm and excited family is preparing for the custom of "Seven Blessings"- a week of festive meals in honor of the bride. But Marie has also come to open old wounds. Between intoxicating family meals, secrets and lies are revealed. Marie is desperate for an apology although her family is sure she should be thanking them. This week turns into a sad comedy about family crimes, forgiveness and loss.

At half past six in the morning on October 7th, a red alarm brings us together with Annette and Albert, a couple of veterans from Sderot. The son who visited them on the eve of Simchat Torah was found with his friends at the Nuva party, from the terrorist attacks of Hamas outside the window of their house overlooking the Sderot police station. 25 hours in the life of the couple, intense drama outside and inside the house, from the window and the television screens, the same horror is reflected.

A dramatic, neo-realist Moroccan-speaking comedy, centered on the Vaknin family - a Moroccan Jewish family that immigrated to the picturesque town of "Bab El Ward" (an imaginary town symbolizing the whole periphery).
