Following its unprecedented success for an Arab film at the Berlinale, MAD Solutions is releasing director Mohamed Ben Attia's film Hedi in cinemas throughout the Arab world. Hedi will be released in Egypt for only one week at Zawya Cinema, starting Wednesday, the 16th of August. The film is set to be released in other Arab countries during August and September.

The film follows Hedi a young man who doesn't expect much from the future. While his mother tries to decide his life for him, making arrangements for marrying him off to Khadija, Hedi meets Rym only two days before his wedding. Captivated by Rym's free-spirit, Hedi finds himself obsessed with his new-born passion and suddenly discovers that his world goes above and beyond conventions. The film stars Majd Mastoura, Rym Ben Messaoud, and Sabah Bouzouita.

Hedi is written and directed by Mohamed Ben Attia, and co-produced by Dora Bouchoucha, Nadim Cheikhrouha, along with Belgian producers and directors, the brothers Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne (Two Days, One Night), while the distribution of the film is handled by MAD Solutions.
