Film Synopsis

Fatal Bazooka is more surprised than anyone by his amazing success as a musician. After selling over fifteen thousand discs he has become the most successful rapper in history. He has lost count of the number of awards he has won - enough to furnish several houses! - and his fans seem to be as numerous as the grains of sand in the Sahara desert. Fatal is a phenomenon, a hero, an icon. What other musician can boast having a successful clothes label, a dedicated magazine and an outlandish theme park, all bearing his name? Fataland looks set to become one of the top tourist attractions in France, a Mecca for ever rap fan on the planet.

With all this success and adulation coming his way, Fatal ought to be the happiest man alive, but he isn't. Success doesn't equal satisfaction. Fame and fortune have come too easily to him and he wonders who Fatal really is and where he is heading. What would his fans think if they ever got to know that instead of being a product of the ghettos he was actually reared by shepherds in a quaint little village in the Alps? Fatal's whole career, in fact his entire life, is founded on a lie. Now that he has obtained everything he could ever have hoped for he begins to wonder if it was really worthwhile. Who exactly is Fatal Bazooka and what will it take to make him happy?
