Set in Melilla, an autonomous, multicultural Spanish city on Africa's north coast, the film centers on Alegría (Cecilia Suárez), a single mother who has returned to her hometown from Mexico for her niece Yael's Orthodox Jewish wedding, although Alegría does not acknowledge her own Jewish heritage. Salama's film sensitively depicts Alegría coming to terms with her roots and the cultural past she has rejected, while reconnecting with family and friends.
