Nicolas Lejeune is a music producer who appears to have reached an impasse
in both his professional and his private lives. His go-getter boss,
Sophie Demanche, has no interest in employing dead wood and offers him one
last chance to save his ailing career. Nicolas has just six months
to put together a crowd-pulling show that will fill the Olympia. Nothing
concentrates the mind more than the prospect of impending dismissal, and
so, with the help of his assistant Sabrina, Nicolas is soon embarking on
the craziest project of his entire career.
Nicholas's impossible challenge is to create a pop group consisting of a
Jewish rabbi, an Islamic imam and a Catholic priest, thereby defying centuries
of history by forcing representatives of the world's three big religions
to bury their differences and work together in a spirit of happy co-existence.
This seemingly fraught escapade starts out well enough but things soon begin
to go wrong when the three members of the group discover that just cannot
get along together. It seems that the old prejudices just will not
go away, even when musical glory beckons...

In the 1940s, the shadowy, skewed visual style of 1920s German expressionism was taken up by directors of American thrillers and psychological dramas, creating that distinctive film noir look.
