Project Synopsis:

Hedi has never expected much from life. Indifferent to everything around him, he lets his mother arrange his marriage, and says nothing when he is sent on a business trip to Mahdia during the week of his wedding. In Mahdia, he meets Rim, an employee at a hotel that is losing business. Intrigued by her carefree attitude, Hedi gets romantically involved, and faces a tough choice as the wedding date gets closer.
