His Achilles’ heel is his sister Rym who falls asleep anywhere and whom the village is convinced will end up a spinster. One evening, Mounir returns from the town drunk and announces that he’s found a rich suitor. And the organization for the ceremony begins… without a bridegroom. Suddenly, he becomes the object of all covetousness. Blinded by his lie, without meaning to Mounir is going to change his family’s destiny.
