En 1969, Mehdi, un niño de 10 años, llega al prestigioso Lycée Lyautey de Casablanca gracias a una beca obtenida por su maestro, quien quedó impresionado por su inteligencia y pasión por la lectura. Lejos de su pueblo en el Atlas, Mehdi se siente como un miembro de la tripulación del Apolo, descubriendo un planeta desconocido. ¿Quiénes son estos franceses que viven en el lujo, adoran cosas extrañas, hablan sin tapujos y muestran tanto interés en él? A lo largo de un año escolar lleno de personajes sorprendentes, se desarrolla la conmovedora historia de un niño inmerso en un mundo opuesto al de su familia.
