As a child, Marie was given to her barren aunt by her mother, a common practice in the past. Decades later, she returns from France for her wedding. The Seven Blessings, a traditional week of meals, is planned by her large Jewish Moroccan family, but past wounds reopen, resulting in an explosion of food, comedy, drama, and belated forgiveness.
