Directed by Fabrice Eboué

Comedy / Drama

Film Synopsis

Nicolas Lejeune is a music producer who appears to have reached an impasse in both his professional and his private lives.  His go-getter boss, Sophie Demanche, has no interest in employing dead wood and offers him one last chance to save his ailing career.  Nicolas has just six months to put together a crowd-pulling show that will fill the Olympia.  Nothing concentrates the mind more than the prospect of impending dismissal, and so, with the help of his assistant Sabrina, Nicolas is soon embarking on the craziest project of his entire career.

Nicholas's impossible challenge is to create a pop group consisting of a Jewish rabbi, an Islamic imam and a Catholic priest, thereby defying centuries of history by forcing representatives of the world's three big religions to bury their differences and work together in a spirit of happy co-existence.  This seemingly fraught escapade starts out well enough but things soon begin to go wrong when the three members of the group discover that just cannot get along together.  It seems that the old prejudices just will not go away, even when musical glory beckons...
