The new Netflix buddy comedy chronicles the story of two individuals from different backgrounds and cultures falling in love and trying to navigate their way to make peace between their respective families and get happily married. Ezra belongs to a Jewish family, while Amira belongs to a Black Muslim family.

Both of their family members have strong opinions and are quite rigid in their ways of life and behaviors. Amira and Ezra know that it will be quite difficult to make the two families accept their relationship. Although they want to get married to each other, the pair do not realize that it will be almost impossible to make peace between them.

When the two families meet, it creates chaos, leading to serious issues between the couple. Amira's father, Akbar, despises Ezra and thus makes his life difficult by cornering him and making sure that the relationship does not end in marriage.

Ezra's mother, Shelley, on the other hand, constantly tries to impress Amira and her family by pretending to know a lot about their culture. However, most times, she comes in as really offensive, leading to further damage in the couple's relationship.

The differences between their families have become hard to get past, which is why they call off their wedding. However, after they go their separate ways, Ezra's mother and Amira's father realize their mistakes and understand how their behavior and rigidness have hurt their children.

At the end of the movie, Akbar and Shelley keep aside their differences and make an amazing plan to make the two lovers reconnect with each other. As such, the ending of You People sees Amira and Ezra get married in a colorful and vibrant ceremony, just like their personalities.
