The filmmaker takes a humorous look at his own childhood. With a bigamous father and polygamous grandfather he grew up in a happy harem. There, with the women, children and servants, he shared the joys, sorrows and conflicts of this small community under the sometimes strict, sometimes indulgent eye of the Master. When he became a man the filmmaker looked back with nostalgia on those happy days. "And since I’m not polygamous, I felt that the best way I might dispel any preconceived ideas was, instead of adopting an analytical approach, to tell a light-hearted story by using humor and the right words and by portraying the characters with fondness. It is my way of denouncing things and entertaining at the same time".
