Majd Mastoura and Rym Ben Messaoud in “Hedi.” 
The conflict between doing what is expected of you and following your dreams is a classic cinema plot. The film showing at Wadsworth Atheneum tells this story, from a contemporary Tunisian perspective.
“Hedi” tells the story of a man who is being set up in an arranged marriage to a woman as unenthusiastic as he is. He loves his job, which lets him travel, and on one of his trips meets a woman who captures his heart.
“Hedi” will be shown Thursday and Saturday, July 20 and 22, at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, July 23, at 2 p.m. at the Atheneum, 600 Main St. in Hartford.
Admission is $9, $8 seniors and students, $7 members and free for Insider Access members and above. thewadsworth.org.
