Moishe’s unmarried, only daughter has finally found a suitor — and Moishe, once the most sought-after badhan (wedding entertainer) by the wealthiest families of Jerusalem's Hasidic enclave, can’t afford the wedding. A gifted comedian and singer whose career was long ago drowned in drink, Moishe can now barely feed his family, let alone marry off the daughter whose happiness means everything to him.
Salvation seems to arrive in the form of Srulik, Moishe's childhood best friend, who left the holy land years ago to make his fortune in America, and has now returned to Jerusalem to host his son's extravagant wedding. The joyous reunion is overshadowed by the fact that Srulik has brought Meshulem, America’s most famous badhan, whose ultra-modern style is an affront to everything Moishe has given his life to. This collision of worlds, old and new, forces Moishe toward a reckoning with the bottle, his pride, and his hunger for greatness that ruined him once before, and now threatens the one thing in this world he cannot bear to lose — his daughter’s future.
