Changing Times

Antoine, a successful civil engineer from France, decides to embark on a journey to Tangiers. His primary motivation is to oversee the construction of a media center, but deep down, he longs to reconnect with his first love, Cécile, whom he hasn't seen in over three decades.

Upon discovering where Cécile lives in Tangiers, Antoine begins to anonymously send her a bouquet of roses every day. Unbeknownst to him, Cécile remains indifferent to her mysterious admirer, unaware that the gestures are coming from her long-lost love.

After her affair with Antoine, Cécile quickly married but then found herself divorced. She eventually married Nathan, a younger Moroccan Jewish doctor, revealing a complicated love life that's left her feeling a bit emotionally distanced.

Antoine meticulously counts the days since he last saw Cécile, which totals **31 years, 8 months, and 20 days**. This obsessiveness underlines his deep emotional connection to Cécile and intensifies his desire to win her back during his trip.

To enhance his chances of rekindling romance with Cécile, Antoine seeks the assistance of Nabila, his Moroccan aide. They explore the intriguing possibility of using witchcraft, showcasing Antoine's desperate yearning to regain Cécile's affection.

In a twist of fate, Antoine and Cécile unexpectedly meet at a supermarket. However, their encounter takes a comical turn as Antoine accidentally injures his nose by walking into a glass window, drawing concerned attention from Cécile and her husband Nathan.

Coinciding with Antoine's arrival, Cécile and Nathan's son, Sami, visits Tangiers with his girlfriend Nadia and her young son Saïd. Sami often leaves Nadia and Saïd behind to pursue his relationship with his Moroccan boyfriend, Bilal.

Nadia expresses a strong desire to reconnect with her twin sister Aïcha, who leads a conservative life and works at a fast-food joint. Aïcha's indifference to Nadia's outreach highlights the strain in their relationship, which remains unresolved.

Nathan learns about Nadia's struggles with prescription pills, which causes concern for Sami. This revelation prompts Sami to contemplate returning to Paris, bringing tension to the family dynamics during their time in Tangiers.

Cécile, now jaded and unfulfilled, grapples with her life of dissatisfaction alongside Nathan. As their relationship deteriorates, she reflects on lost aspirations yet finds herself drawn to Antoine's attentions, complicating her emotional landscape.

Encouraged by her friend Rachel, Cécile begins to entertain the idea of a brief romance with Antoine. They share an intimate moment that brings both hope and despair, encapsulating the complexity and fragility of their rekindled connection.

Tragedy strikes when an accident occurs at Antoine's construction site, resulting in a serious injury that leaves him in a coma. Cécile remains by his side throughout his recovery, showcasing her loyalty despite the complexities of their relationship.

Following the accident, Nathan relocates to Casablanca for work, which contributes to the growing distance between him and Cécile. Rumors circulate that Nathan's new life has sparked a relationship with Aïcha, complicating Cécile's emotional state further.

Amidst the unfolding drama, Bilal grapples with his own decision of whether to follow Sami to Paris. His internal conflict mirrors the larger themes of love, choice, and identity that intertwine throughout the story.

Months later, during one of Cécile's hospital visits, Antoine surprisingly awakens from his coma. Their hands intertwine in a poignant moment, reigniting a flicker of hope for their future amidst the complexities of their shared history.
