Director Gabrielle Antosiewicz is  30 years old and decides it may be time to settle down. So she sets herself the task of finding a Jewish husband but is confronted by the harsh reality that in her hometown of Zurich , she has only a few dozen potential mates. Undeterred, she calls up old school chums and other prospects and invites them over to her house for an unusual first date—she bakes challah with them, while she interviews them on camera on what they’re looking for in a marriage. While the dough rises, we meet three other families who share their accounts of looking for love: on the Internet, through orthodox matchmakers and at the local car dealership. In the end, Gabrielle has six freshly baked loaves, but has she found a recipe for love?
