Above all, his mother and her protective hand ensures that he stays on his predetermined path – including an arranged marriage. But in the week before his wedding, of all times, Hedi has to go on a business trip to the coastal city of Mahdia. There, his tranquil life is turned completely upside down when he falls in love with the free-spirited dancer Rim. HEDI tells the nuanced story of a young man and an entire society in upheaval. A film about the happiness and pain of freedom – a milestone in new Tunisian cinema.
