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.

Rating: - Surprisingly entertaining jewish comedy
I've got to say I picked this one by total chance. I didn't expect much from a jewish comedy from La France.
But what a surprise. The movie is full of biblical quotations and interesting plot twisters. The movie is shot beautifully and I hope we could find this kind of comedy in America.
Try it if you're lucky enough to be jewish or lucky enough not to be.
