Marrying later in life, Bolbol lives with her husband Amor with whom she no longer shares anything. She leads a monotonous and boring life, between cleaning the house and sitting on the balcony overlooking the ceremony hall "Ellila Liltek" (Tonight is Your Night). One evening, she is invited to a wedding at the ceremony hall, which will make her a regular guest at all the coming weddings held at the hall.
