Film Synopsis
Just like his ancestor Abraham, who gave up his trinket shop and
religious idols for music, Isaac abandons his clothes shop in the
Sentier district of Paris so that he can create his own pop group,
Rock'n Torah. With the help of his friend Norbert and a young
choreographer, Christine, he prepares a biblical rock opera,
Massala. When their relationship begins to deteriorate, Christine
puts pressure on Isaac to buy a bankrupt clothing workshop, and God
himself offers a helping hand...
