Film Synopsis

Dino Fabrizzi is a successful car dealer in Nice.  Aged 42, he has arrived at a turning point in his life.  He is offered a senior position in his company just as his girlfriend Hélène makes it known that she intends to marry him.   But Dino has a problem.  No one knows that he is fact a Muslim, that his real name is Mourad Ben Saoud.  He would have been able to go on with his harmless deceit were it not for the fact that he has promised his father to celebrate Ramadan this year...
