The home is located in the suburban Paris neighborhood known as "Little Jerusalem" because of its large Jewish population. But, Laura is not into her family's religious fervor, which has damaged Mathilde's marital relationship with Ariel, and she really is not into the dating scene—until she meets Djamel (Hedi Tillette de Clermont-Tonnerre).
