Director: Gad Elmaleh

After three years in America, French-Jewish actor and comedian Gad Elmaleh decides to move back home to Paris. He misses his family and friends. Or, at least that’s what Gad tells his loving yet overbearing parents. However, it’s not long before his parents find out the true reason for their son’s return – after a long period of ambivalence towards his own Jewishness, Gad has officially decided to convert to Catholicism. Dumbfounded and with only five weeks before his baptism, Gad’s family endeavors to bring him back to Judaism for fear of losing him forever.
