At the end of her wedding day, the bride Elaha has locked herself in the bathroom. The last guests are waiting impatiently outside the door, but only her two closest friends are allowed to enter. Secretly they want to insert an artificial hymen inside her, but Elaha is hesitating. Is it not completely bizarre to start a marriage with a lie? Torn between tradition and her own morality, she has to take the right decision. The clock is ticking and the bathroom seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
