After three successful years living and working in America, French-Jewish actor and comedian Gad Elmaleh decides to move back home to Paris, ostensibly to see his family while trying to hide the real reason for his visit: he has decided to convert to Catholicism. Inspired by the director’s own fraught relationship to the Jewish faith and starring Elmaleh’s real-life family, this genuinely funny, semi-autobiographical comedy is a heart-warming and charming story about faith, family and acceptance.

2023, 93 minutes, France, In French with English subtitles, Directed by Gad Elmaleh, Not Rated
