Salim arrives in France, happy like a hummingbird at the idea of joining again with Sofia, a young French woman of Moroccan descent whom he married there according to the country tradition. But he quickly becomes disillusioned when she tells him she no longer wants to be his wife. Here in France she is free and nobody can force her. Between brothers and sisters who support Sofia, a disoriented Salim who wants to return to Morocco, and parents who would like him to build a new life in France, with or without Sofia, the situation is intractable. Marriage Blues, a bittersweet comedy, is thumbing its nose at the arranged marriage.
