Plot Synopsis
This warm character-driven comedy is a hilarious tale of honour and love in a remote Berber village.
Comedian, scriptwriter and director Lyes Salem plays tracksuited, moustached Mounir Mekbek, who is down on his luck, ridiculed by his neighbours, and saddled with a narcoleptic sister. After a night on the town, he announces her impending marriage to a rich European business mogul. All he wanted was a little respect and admiration from the neighbors but he gets way more than he bargained for. As the story swells, Mounir and his family can't help but get swept up in the adulation and praise. With the wedding fast approaching they find themselves in a tangled mess of jealousy and hysteria.
