A bittersweet story of Michael, who went abroad as a child amid racial tensions spurred by the Yom Kippur War. Years later he returns to Casablanca to see his estranged and ailing father, who had been a famous Jewish musician. Michael is eventually tasked with giving his father a proper burial, which entails finding and bringing together the remaining members of his father's once renowned orchestra, and coming to terms with his own surprising family history.
