Noces Page #2

- I'm right here.

I called twenty-five times.

- You didn't answer.

- I'm here.

Did it go OK?

- Did it hurt?

- Not really.

Are you OK?

Daughter,

your mother and I...

didn't know each other either.

And look.

I was stressed on our wedding day,

like a madman.

What's she like? Pretty?

Will I like her?

I was in the same state.

That evening, I made her laugh.

It was wonderful.

One of the greatest nights

of my life.

Here, you can choose.

Other families aren't like this.

Here, you have the choice.

After the mess you made,

everything can still work out.

This is an incredible opportunity, Zahira.

And you'll be able to talk to them.

We'll arrange all this.

- I'm going to Pakistan?

- No, no.

- They're coming here then?

- No.

You'll see them online.

OK.

We have to keep up with the times.

Hi, three mojitos

and a sparkling water.

- Lemon or lime?

- Lime.

Thanks.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Did you tell him I'd be here?

- Maybe.

- But I didn't ask you.

I haven't committed a crime.

Neither has he.

No, neither has he.

Here, this is for you.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Are you alright?

- Please, get up.

- It's OK, I'll stay down here with you.

Please, get up.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

We have to go.

- Why?

- I'll explain later.

- Why are we leaving?

- I'll tell you later.

Why aren't you allowed to go out?

It's tradition.

- But your brother goes out.

- Yes.

So, tradition says:

"No nightclubs for Zahira"?

If you like.

Does tradition also say:

"No Ardennes for Zahira"?

I reckon so.

That's a shame.

My uncle has a place in the Ardennes.

Well, that's tradition for you.

Right. Tradition is useful

when I feel like saying "no".

I'll be off then.

Thanks.

That made my night.

Good luck.

This one's a sort of

Pakistani Freddy Mercury.

Jeez, even the third one.

He's the worst of all.

Here.

- Why not buy some time?

- How?

Just do what they want.

What are they asking you to do?

Talk to all three,

get to know them.

Well, do it.

When do you talk to the first one?

Tonight or tomorrow.

You'll work it out.

- I don't know.

- But you can't marry one of those guys.

Drop it, Aurore.

What would you know?

- Don't chew me out.

- No, sorry.

- Did you know I spoke to Imran?

- Imran? Who's he?

My future husband,

for your information.

A cousin from back home,

in the photos.

- When did you talk to him?

- Last night on Skype.

Mum woke me up for it.

- And?

- And? It was horrible.

You don't like him?

No, I don't. Of course I don't.

- What do other girls do?

- I don't know.

And I don't give a damn.

You're the only one.

- Only you resist.

- Yes, I resist.

Of course I resist.

Did you see what Mum was like
