During the early years of the reign of Hassan II, Houcine, a father and director of a popular orchestra, wants the best for his son Mimou, and so he forces him to be at the top of his class in primary school. Houcine's whole family lives in the family home of his wife, Halima, where a series of characters appear in the orchestra's life and traditional dances.
