A young girl named Safwa asks her mother to dress her up as a bride. Her mother agrees and helps her get ready. Meanwhile, Safwa's friend Jayez asks Safwa's mother to dress him up as a groom. The scene then shifts to a fantasy-like sequence where Safwa and Jayez get "married" and have a child. However, their relationship is portrayed as tumultuous, with Jayez's "mother" (Safwa's mother) criticizing her "daughter-in-law" (Safwa) for not taking care of her household and child.
The scene eventually reveals that it was all just a dream of Jayez's, who wakes up to his mother (Kholouda) telling him that he was crying in his sleep. Kholouda reassures Jayez that he doesn't need to think about marriage now, but rather focus on his studies and future. The story ends with Jayez feeling relieved that it was just a dream, but also seemingly reflecting on the importance of education and responsibility before considering marriage.
