After two years in the United States, Moroccan-born Jewish comedian Gad Elmaleh arrives in Paris, ostensibly to visit his parents. When his observant family discovers the real reason he’s there— to complete his long-planned conversion to Roman Catholicism— their volatile reactions turn his steps toward baptism into a hilarious minefield. This laugh-out-loud comedy raises questions about what it means to be a Catholic, Jew, son, brother, and human being. Here art imitates life, with Gad Elmaleh playing himself while his real-life mère et père, Régine and David, play his parents.
