Tina and her ex-husband Rudi are in Marrakech for the wedding of their daughter Anna to her childhood sweetheart Markus. Their joy turns to surprise and, for Tina, to dismay when Anna reveals that she's marrying the Berber Karim, not Markus. Rudi has no objections, as long as Anna is happy; but Tina fears losing her daughter to an unknown culture. A clash of mentalities and temperaments ensues – until Karim's uncle Rafiq charms Tina off her feet and opens her eyes to the merits of his culture.
