“Arranged” is the story about Rachel is an Orthodox Jew and Nasira a Muslim of Syrian origin. Both are young teachers at a public school in Brooklyn. They are also both in the process of having their parents arrange their marriage.  With family pressures on one hand, a rejection of traditional values by the outside world on the other, they have to rely on each other to get through this difficult time.  They make a very unlikely duo for any place other than Brooklyn.
