Description:
This whirlwind of disguises and mistaken identities unfolds as Victor Pivert, an arrogant French factory owner, becomes the hostage of Slimane, an Arab rebel leader. In a series of chaotic events, they don rabbis' garb in order to evade assassins from Slimane's homeland, as well as the police who suspect Pivert is guilty of murder. Caught up in this frenzy is Pivert's wife, convinced he's leaving her for another woman, their daughter on the brink of marriage, and a Parisian neighborhood buzzing with excitement for the return of Rabbi Jacob - the man Pivert pretends to be after 30 years abroad. As the layers of deception unravel, tensions run high in this hilarious and heartfelt tale that questions prejudice and reveals the strength of human connections.
