Seventy-three-year-old former beauty Aurora is a perpetually broke, eccentric divorcée living in the wealthy enclave of Marin County. When she discovers her father’s widow has died, she decides to drive to Los Angeles to see whether this means money for her. Aurora’s high-strung daughter, Leyla, spends her days keeping up with the other Marin County uber moms, manically chasing perfection. When she overhears a conversation that leads her to suspect her husband is embarking on an affair, she sneaks into his cannabis business conference to spy on him. Leyla and Aurora's separate quests intersect and enmesh in Los Angeles over the course of a weekend where they both end up staying with cousins, quirky, endearing, Sephardic Jews who speak Ladino, mostly in proverbs and cook prodigious quantities of delicacies from the old country, the island of Rhodes. Hijinks, chaos, and yes, even some healing, ensue.
