Hedi (نحبك هادي)

Our turnover is falling all the time. The country is in crisis -

- but shall we just sit and watch that the goods pile up?

Tomorrow everyone has to leave the store and the offices for sale.

Are you there?

Hedi, you've been pestering me to stay moved, but you have no plan!

You have to work in Mahdia from Monday! Okay?

- I have taken your invitation with me. - What invitation?

- For my wedding. - Well, you mentioned that.

- Congratulations! - Thanks.

It's very soon! What about the sales job?

I can't let you go now, Hedi. The boss is on my back-

because you can't order anything.

You can get time off in October.

Hedi, remember the flowers.

Has Nefissa come? Now get hold of your daughter!

Now bring the flowers, Yosra!

Come closer, Wassila!

where are the girls? Come...

Now behave yourself... Hedi!

- God bless our bride, she is beautiful! - Thanks!

- May God protect them! - And grant them happiness.

- Do you have any daughters? - I have Khedija now, don't I, Zeineb?

Yes, she is our daughter now. She will be moving in with you soon.

Yes, but it will be her own home.

- Have you seen what I've been up to? - Yes that's fine!

They have their own entrance, so no one disturbs them.

God gave me two sons.

Since their father died, may God have mercy on his soul...

...we have developed a close relationship. My eldest son Ahmed-

calling several times a day from France!

Everyone says Ahmed looks like me-

- while Hedi looks like his father. Show them that...

- Does he live in France? - He got a great matriculation exam.

And then he got another scholarship to study abroad. He is an engineer.

I wish you all had such a son.

- He won't stay there... - He doesn't look like her!

He dreams of returning home.

- Is his wife French? - Yes... He has been married...

...for about four years.

Thanks.

Hedi is different.

He is an artist like his father. He loves to draw!

Just wait, Khedija, he will draw many portraits of you.

- I hope you like it. - Thank you, aunt.

- What a time! - I didn't hear you.

Hedi, get Skype ready.

Dude, get my slippers.

Why did you tell them I draw?

- You do. - I don't do portraits!

Never mind, Hedi... You can draw a portrait of Khedija.

I'll get it framed and hang it up in your bedroom.

- Hamouda! How are you? - Well. What about you, mom?

You should have been here. They seemed so good to us that we have just come home!

- So did it go well? - Very good!

Her mother was impressed with the clock, but she wouldn't show it.

- Mr Ahmed, how are you? - Fine.

Go in and set the table.

Yesterday she asked, if she had to get driving lessons...

- Just imagine. - Before long you have to give her a car.

It shouldn't surprise me. Everything went as planned.

SMS from Khedija: "Call and I'll come out."

- Have you seen her father?. - Yes, come in and say hi.

- Did he mention the new job? - We'll talk about that later.

Where is little Sarra? Beside You? I have goodies for her.

She is put to bed. I'm landing at 10 tomorrow. Is he picking me up?

Do you hear that, Hedi? Ahmed and Sara arrive tomorrow at 10.

Well, is he there? Congratulations bro!

Hello.

They didn't see me go out, so I can't stay here very long.

- Say it now! - Which one?

- Was your mother happy? - Yes, she likes it.

- What did she say about me? - That the bride was too fat.

And that she should lose weight.

- Do you think I'm pretty? - Yes.

- Only that? - Yes.

Fool!

Think we have our own home in a week!

Not anymore: "When will you be home?"

Stop having to be home at 8 p.m.

Damn! Now they come!

- Hey darling. - Hi Mom

- Where is Sarra? - She has fallen ill.

The poor thing! So she's not coming to the wedding?

- Unfortunately. - It was a shame.

Your scarf slides down.

Take care of your teeth, mom.

How much dowry can you give?

3000 dinars?

That's how it is in nice families.

And remember what we spent on jewelry and bracelets.

And it's not over. Have you bought perfumes?

- Yes, three kinds. - Well!

Did you bring the fibra pen to me?

- What is it? - Felt-tip pens... Sorry, I forgot that.

It's not that important either.

Show me the total.

He still has 4000 dinars on the account.

- It's just enough. - It should be.

- At least the house is ready. - Is it completely finished?

Just a few bits and pieces left.

Show your brother. It has become cozy.

- Have you inquired about the furniture? - Not yet.

What are you waiting for? Call them now!

You have to help me a little.

Are you sure, that you can't get off for a week?

Why didn't you say that yesterday?

You looked very happy, and I didn't want to spoil your mood.

Never mind. We are changing the flight tickets-

and travel in October instead.

Does your boss know that the wedding to be held here in Kairouan?

- Yes. - And he thinks it's perfectly okay...

...to go from Mahdia to the party?

He does not care. He knows, that it applies to me after the wedding.

Why would he think about that?

I've always been afraid for that road.

We get used to it.

Father has had his passport confiscated.

What are they wearing on him?

I do not know. They won't say anything.

They argue all the time. I'm tired of living with them.

But don't tell your mother.

I said we should be moved into the apartment in Tunis.

Impossible... Your mother would have said no-

- after all the work to get our house ready.

And I cannot depart from them, especially now.

- When are you leaving tomorrow? - 8 o'clock.

- Do you call when you arrive? - Okay.

Here is my plan…

We put the sofa over here...

...in front of the TV.

And then we see what is missing...

What do you think?

I have to do everything myself!

Your brother never does anything. I can't count on him.

Don't the in-laws help?

They take care of curtains and carpets-

but they take forever about it!

When you come home, you can choose what you want…

You can move in upstairs or here.

It's a long walk every day from Mahdia to Kairouan.

- But surely they give you a raise? - I do not think.

But it is closer than Tunis.

- Have you packed the chargers? - Yes.

- And the pillowcase? - Yes.

- Don't bother him, mother. - Mind your own business!

You always interfere!

- Have you entered the number for the hotel? - It's out in the kitchen.

I guess that's enough, right?

Are you crazy, mom?

He is 25 and about to get married, but do you give him pocket money?

What's wrong with that? It is his money, but I manage it for him.

Otherwise he would never have saved up. And he will always be my little boy!

- Ja? - Good day, my name is Hedi Barrak, seller...
