An uproarious French comedy farce about tradition, lust and love! --Toronto Jewish Film Festival
Product Description
The film stars Clement Sibony as Jonas, a Bar Mitzvah entertainer and father to a newborn son, who learns at the last minute that, according to an obscure Jewish custom, he must bury the foreskin of his just-circumcised son. Set during Pope John Paul II's 1997 visit to Paris, when tens of thousands of Catholic youth were celebrating on the streets of Paris, Jonas' mission is hampered by, among other things, a jealous gun-wielding husband, a young Romanian woman determined to collect the Pope's aura, a flat-tire, and a truck full of frozen-fish. Due to this unfortunate chain of events this seemingly simple task becomes a journey of personal transformation and, in running away, Jonas ends up finding himself.
