Flippant Dutch saleswoman Susanne van Meeteren's latest ill-considered hobby project is a big brother/sister program. She starts by 'accidentally' picking a boy instead of a girls, and second generation Moroccan Soukri Eouzzani (16) is a very knavish rascal, peeping Tom and all, yet sensitive and artistic. Dad Brahim enrolled his garage heir to improve Soukri's Dutch language mastery. They soon get on well, and daughter Sofie in presses to tutor him in maths, his worst subject. Susanne convinces Shoukri to pursue his acting dream, but he dares not even ask his dad. When he's caught out in love with Sofie, her dad moves out. When Shoukri's dad finds out he left technical school, a tragic fight ensues.
