The story of a young Belgian actor of Moroccan origin who agrees to play the role of Saint-François-d'Assise to put an end to the roles of nice Arabs that are stuck on his forehead in often mediocre films.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a sharp satire on film industry typecasting and cultural stereotypes, relying on the clash between the protagonist's lofty role and his chaotic family reality. It explores themes of identity and filial duty with a light, comedic touch that never feels heavy-handed.

What lingers after the credits is the warmth of its characters and a genuine smile, proving that the most profound truths are often delivered through laughter. — MovieFinder Editorial
