Summary
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...
