Synopsis

Mounir lives in a small Algerian village. Very proud and sure of himself, he has only one dream: to finally be appreciated by his fellow villagers. Screwing up his carefully maintained image is his headstrong, narcoleptic sister Rym who falls asleep anywhere. One evening, Mounir returns from town drunk and announces that he's found a suitor for his sister. The village begins preparing for the wedding in earnest - but without a bridegroom in sight.
