Forty-four years after Warde left her in-laws’ home in shame, she is living with her younger sister Jaleleh and has become a highly sought-after cup reader and matchmaker in Palestine. However, her advice does not always come from the cup. The Cup Reader is a charming film about women facing their beliefs on love and marriage.
