I , Manar Saad, a 25 year old woman, am going through a stressful period since I am preparing for the biggest step a woman can take. I have decided to visit my aunts to have them make me my wedding dress. Both of my aunts, Wafika and Zahra, live in the same house. They have experienced over 80 years of life; Wafika has never married and Zahra was married for just 9 months. As I was growing up, I lived their bitter memories, which triggered the feeling of fear that is the focus of this film. Remembering the past and all these mixed feelings, anxiety and I experienced while preparing my dream dress never held me back. A family social documentary is created through observing the actions of the two sisters during this period and their way of interacting with the situation. (MF studentských filmů Písek)
