She has just gotten off a plane at the Luxembourg airport, but she is strangely reluctant to pick up her red suitcase. Once she has finally gotten the suitcase, she continues to hesitate, being unwilling to leave baggage claim and the secure area. Eventually the reason becomes clear: there is a man waiting there who is at least 30 years older than she is, and she has been pledged to marry him. Ariane hopes to escape, but she faces the challenge of how to get past the man, who is waiting in the reception area.

Chekhov's Boomerang: The hijab. Ariane taking it off is symbolic of her making decision to rebel. It also means that she can get past the man, since he's looking for a girl in a hijab. Later, when the man, on the phone to Ariane's father, mentions her red suitcase, she is able to use the hijab to wrap up the suitcase and hide it. Finally, the man finds the hijab tangled up with the suitcase at the end, revealing that Ariane did in fact get away.

Bittersweet Ending: Ariane escapes a forced marriage with a man that's decades older than her. But she's left to a very uncertain fate as a teenaged girl, alone in Europe, not speaking any language but Farsi and with nothing but the wad of money she got in exchange and the clothes on her back. And she loses her art and art supplies when the man takes her red briefcase from the baggage hold of the bus.

Arranged Marriage: Not quite Old Man Marrying a Child, but close. Ariane is sixteen years old, as the airport security guards discover when checking her passport. The age of the man isn't mentioned but he is obviously well into his forties.
