The image Mohammed VI promoted as soon as he was crowned was that of a king who is young, popular, trendy even, and accessible to the man in the street, in contrast to his father´s autocratic style. M6, as young Moroccans have nicknamed him, does not distance himself from his subjects, as his father Hassan II did. Since he did not want to settle in the palace, the young monarch continued to live in his private residence. He drives his own car and dismissed the Palace harem. He is said to be straightforward and concerned with the fate of the least well-off. He quickly affirmed his will to compensate victims of random imprisonment, as well as the families of missing Moroccans. The return of Abraham Serfaty, a famous dissident imprisoned then exiled by Hassan II, as well as that of the Ben Barka family, and the dismissal of his father´s minister of the interior, Driss Basri, are yet more tangible signs of the new monarch´s desire to make his reign one of breaking with the past.
This documentary gives a political biography of the young king. The film-makers also interview ministers, political scientists and journalists, and meet young Moroccans in Casablanca who talk about their aspirations and shed light on the obstacles in their society.
