Gad Elmaleh

Cataclysm in the Elmaleh! In the Gad suitcase, back from the United States, his mother finds a statuette of the Virgin Mary. However, gad elmaleh the Elmaleh belong to a line of Sephardic Jews from Morocco and do not joke with religion.

Summoned to explain himself. the humorist procrastinates, then does his spiritual coming out (in both senses of the term): he intends to convert to Catholicism, be baptized and change his first name – he will be called Jean -Marie, as a Lustiger.

Between autobiographical confession. comedy of manners, the humorist enlocks his real parents, rabbis (including Delphine Horvilleur) and priests, in an abyss holding docu-fiction, the spy camera, self-mockery, which is followed with perplexity, amusement and a lot of fascination.
