Isabelle Grossman, a modern young woman working in a New York City bookstore, is set up with Sam Posner, a pickle vendor, by her grandmother Bubbie. Isabelle, embarrassed by her family’s traditional ways, initially resists Sam’s charms. However, as she navigates her complicated relationship with a pretentious author, she begins to appreciate Sam’s genuine nature and the value of her heritage. Ultimately, Isabelle must choose between the sophisticated world she desires and the comforting familiarity of her roots.
