Synopsis
Dunya and Desie are best friends. Both girls are 18 years old but that's about all they have in common. Dunya is Moroccan born and bred, and Desie is Dutch. When Dunya learns on her eighteenth birthday that her family has chosen a groom for her she is anything but delighted. She is to marry a distant cousin, somewhere in Morocco. Desie, on the other hand, has quite a different problem. She's pregnant. She never knew her father, but her desire to meet him is getting stronger and stronger. When she discovers that he lives in Morocco, the two girlfriends make a snap decision to go there. This is beginning of an adventure for the pair--a whole set of new experiences await Dunya and Desie.
