...

-I was born here, in Casablanca.

I was raised in a family
traditionalist Sephardic Jew.

Horns

When I was a child,
I was surrounded by Muslims,

Jews and Christians too.

We had synagogues,
mosques and churches.

We shared a lot of things,

but between Jewish children
and Muslims

there was a common point
very strong,

a supreme ban
of our parents,

that of entering churches.

We didn't have the right.

It was forbidden.

It was serious.

And we wondered

what could be
so mysterious in these churches,

so secret.

Mom, I'm at the Oscars!

He speaks in Hebrew.

The dancing tune continues.

-There you go, perfect. Alright.

Help me.

-I'm coming.

GOOD.

What is that ?

-Chocolate.
-Chocolate ? To do what ?

-Softness for the night,
like in big hotels.

Okay, listen, here. Put it there.

That's it, very good. OK.

-It goes like this ?

-Here I think it's...
It's good like that.

...

-The plane arrives at 4 p.m.?

-He arrives at 4 p.m., yes.

It won't be long.

-Okay, then we wait, we wait.

Get over there, you.

Are you sure he arrives at 4 p.m.?

-But yes, you'll see.

It sounds.

-Doudou ! Hey !

-How are you ?

-Hey, Gad.

-How are you ? Are you okay, my dads?

He sighs.

She speaks in Hebrew.

-Give me your things.

-You come from America
with a plastic bag?

the bag wherever we go.

-No, go back.

-Go get the champagne.
(-Oh yes okay.)

-Wow, things have changed here.

-Come sit down, darling. Come.
They open the champagne.

The father speaks in Hebrew.

-Shalom.

-Cheers.

The American, “cheers”.
Laughter

-How are you, my friend?

-In English... No I'm not...
-My son.

-I'm not your friend.

-No?

your father,

and your best friend.

-Oh, dads...

That, that...

Yes.

-L’chaim.

-You just arrived.

I did not see you. You are leaving already ?

-I booked a hotel,
You'll see me.

-When I'll see you ?

How long
am I going to see you again?

-No do not do that.

Stop, don't do that, mom. Stopped.

Come on, mom.
-Stay with us, please.

-For what ?
What are you now?

A big ?

-It's a trap.

-No, just in case.

-Mom, I'm staying one night
and then I go to the hotel.

Laugh

Come on, rest.

Here, darling, your things.

-Thanks Mom.

...

Little laugh

Christian song

...

...

*...

- Calm, calm, darling.

-So you can watch
whatever you want, darling.

I was scared and...
It's not at all... Well, no...

-What ?
-I know what you...

-I don't think anything, eh.
You're the one who thinks that.

-It's something I like.

-And then, if it relaxes you...

She speaks in Arabic.

Look what you want.

-But no...

Squeaking door

Good night darling.

She gently closes the door.

-There, he reserved
a hotel room.

-Where is the problem ?

-Listen, the problem,
it's because he didn't cancel it.

She sighs.
-Listen, stop.

We do not care.

Your son sleeps there.

-Yes, but it is very expensive.

-So what ?
Who cares, I tell you.

Your son is here, that's the main thing.

-Yes. Yes, you're right.

-So it's okay, sleep.

Sleep.

-Good.
-Forget.

-OK, darling, then.

How much do you think it could cost?
a room like that?

-To do what ?

Explain to me,
What did you come back for actually?

-How so ?

-What did you come back for?
You were in the US, Las Vegas,

thing, Los Angeles...

-You're nice, you.

-We want to know!

-“We’re interested.”

-He said to me: “Gad, he’s coming back.”

He's definitely coming back,
he is passing through

or you go back to...

-I want to see the family,

to see you...

-It brought you
roles in the cinema?

-No.

-Nothing at all ?

-Here, things moved.

There are new ones and a big level.
You will play ?

-No, I don't play.
-Stopped !

-Aren't you playing?

You lost the eye of the tiger.

-No way.
-You lost it.

Laughter

...

-The Feujs and the Muslims

are good at everything
what is festive, atmosphere,

The Catholics,
they have a funeral level,

they have a production,
they have a vibe.

Laughter

I was at a Catholic funeral,
I wanted to be the deceased.

There was a convertible coffin,

incense, his photo,
the music he loved,

the priest's microphone worked...
Why the fuck don't we have that?

They cried with dignity,

They don't have an aunt who says:
“I want to go with him.”

Laughter
Applause

...

...

Someone is humming.

...

Mom, are you okay?

-What are you doing standing up?

Did you see the time?
-Jet lag.

-Gap ?
-But what do you do?

-Me ? I paint.

I paint.

Are you okay?
-Yes, it's okay, yes.

-It's okay, don't you have a problem?

-No, no, it's okay. I've just...
I'm tired.

-Good.

Little laugh

when it's over.

So go to sleep, darling.

-Come on, my heart. Good night.

Mischievous music

...

The pilot speaks in English.

*-Royal Air Maroc AT 740.

-Royal Air Maroc, “salam aleykoum”.

*-Aleykoum salam.

He speaks in Arabic.

-Everyone is well ?
*-Yes.

-Hamdoulilah.
*-How are you.

He speaks in Arabic.

*He responds in Arabic.

-Thank you very much, my friend.

...

...

-David?

David!

-Yes ?

-Come, come quickly!
-What's the matter ?

What is happening ?

It's what ?
-It was in Gad's suitcase.

-Don't touch him.

Put it down, put it down!

-AIE Aie Aie.
What is happening to us here?

Above all, don't touch anything!

-Incredible, that.

-Do not touch.

Do not touch.

What is that ?
-Don't touch it either.

-Me neither.

It's not possible.

-But no not at all.

*-Where are you ?
-I think I'm going back.

*-Normally,
you have a little door at the bottom.

-Ah no, I don’t see her.
*-I don't see where you are.

-It's been two and a half years,
I can wait.

*-You should see me.
-I do not see you.

*-No ?
-No.

*-Have you passed the white door?

-A white door, yeah.
*-I see you.

I'm coming very soon.

Laugh

Well there you go!

-We don't continue on the phone.

It's a pleasure to see you.

It's huge, it's huge.

In five weeks, you are baptized.
-Stopped.

It's too concrete, stop.

Normally yes. But, the fact...

just to say it, to
to formulate it, it makes me... It's hot.

I can't figure it out.

-I had Father Barthélemy
on the phone.

We move on to the concrete phase.
-It's tomorrow.

-First ballot.
-Yeah.

Yeah.

-Besides,
Did you tell your parents?

-No.

I do it for me,
to be closer to Mary.

I don't do it for my parents.

-And a little about Jesus.
-A little.

Stopped,
you know my position on this.

But I do not know,
there's something with that...

I don't want to make jokes
that would bother you, but...

-There is something
with Jesus what is of the order of...

-"I am the way,
truth, life."

-It's too much ! Yes.

You tell me he was Jewish, I know.
He was super Jewish.

Sephardic feuj,
There is only one who can say:

"I am the way,
truth and life."

-You're funny,
you take a sentence out of context,

and you make a big deal out of it.
The Gospel according to Saint Gad.

-No !

During the Holy Supper,

it looks like he's going to say:
“Give the bill, it’s for me.”

Squeaking door

He blows.
Pardon.

How are you ?

-How are you.

And you, how are you?

-Yep I'm fine.

-Were you able to talk to him?

-Well no, he was busy.

You knew that the Virgin Mary
was Jewish?

-Oh no,
Aren't you going to do it too?

He speaks in Arabic.

She repeats quietly.

So.

-It is written.
She is Jewish, she is Jewish.

There's nothing we can do about it.

We breathe.

-Go ahead, Libra,
why did you come back?

-It's hot.

I can't say it.

-Hold on.

He blows.

There, not long ago, I...

I'm going to get baptized.

-You're kidding.

-I'm not joking.

-I knew there was a delirium.

You were fascinated by churches.
But you can't convert.

At the Buddhist limit,

I would understand,
you would have an existential crisis,

you are fifty years old...

Or even Islam.

We lived in Morocco, we speak Arabic,

we grew up with Muslims...

It's hot, but I...

It would be more coherent.
But Catholic?

-I have the impression
that there is a hierarchy.

That we can convert to such
religion, but not to another.

-And your parents ?

They're up-to-date ?

-No and you don't say anything, OK?

-We were with you,
you had to run an errand,

you park in front...

You know,
the little church there was

near our home.

We pass in front
to go to school.

Besides, you told us:

"Children,
you never come in here.”

We returned, it was a little dark.

We move forward a little,

we raise our heads
and above us,

there was a statue of the Virgin,
huge.

It was impressive,
and I see Gad,

He was like that. I shook it,
I said to him: “Are you okay?”

And I see a tear
which flows like that.

I tell him :
“Come on, let’s go back, let’s go.”

We run to the car,
him, he was completely

still in shock
and we came home, we sat down

and we waited for you.

You haven't noticed anything,
he was completely

petrified.

-He was five minutes late...

-I give the origin of the situation.

-If I had stayed 30 or 45 minutes,

What would he have become? A pope ?

Finally...

...

-Excuse me.

I'm ok thanks.

which will take place in a short time
and I get ready.

-Do you want help ?

-One two three.

Exclamation
But I have to... I have to get out.

Don't leave me under there.
I have to get up.

-But it's for a competition
apnea?

-No no not at all.

No way.

-If you had told us,
we would have acted!

-But tell you what, dad?

That 30 years ago,
Were we in a church?

-Why didn't you speak?

-Because it doesn't concern me.

-So, it's pure selfishness.

-Am I selfish?
It is the best.

It's my fault

and you call me selfish?

You just said it.

-The problem,
It’s because you didn’t say anything.

-Here, the conversation

The main one is on Gad.
Above all !

“Did you see the show?”
"Did you see? He was on TV."

That's enough !
One day, it's the United States,

now, the Blessed Virgin,
tomorrow, we don't know.

-You've been silent for 20 years.

-You will manage.
You will call it,

you go see a psychologist,

whoever you want,

because you are afraid
to talk to him and you leave me behind!

OK ? I am leaving !

Leave me alone, leave me!

-Where are we going like this?
-You have your share of responsibility.

-Ah, now is it my fault?

-He must have spoken to you,
or something.

-Nothing at all ever.
Never. Stopped !

than take care of him
and for you, right?

-No, well there you go.

The result is there. 20 years later...

-Result, we will have
a Catholic son. Gorgeous.

Soft music

...

This is not the same
to see you like this...

-Yeah.

-... after all these hours
in preparation remotely.

-It's different.

-You're early.
-Under pressure, especially.

-Don’t worry, I’ll introduce you
Victoire, Anna and Medhi

-And who complete their catechumenate.

-Catechumenate?
-Yes.

-I can't do it.

-A catechumen, yeah.

-HE IS GOOD, THE LORD

PRAISE, SERVANTS OF THE LORD

PRAISE HIM BECAUSE HE IS GOOD

CELEBRATE THE GENTLENESS OF HIS NAME

COME, LET’S CRY FOR JOY
FOR THE LORD

LET’S CHEER THE ROCK
GOD OF OUR SALVATION

LET US APPROACH TO HIM

LET’S SING FOR HIM

TO THE SOUND OF INSTRUMENTS
LET'S PLAY FOR OUR KING

PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD

PRAISE, SERVANTS OF THE LORD

PRAISE HIM BECAUSE HE IS GOOD

CELEBRATE THE GENTLENESS OF HIS NAME

-In the name of the Father, of the Son
and the Holy Spirit.

-AMEN.

-The grace of Jesus,
of God, the father

and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be always with you.

-AND WITH YOUR MIND.

-On this Sunday,

we will have a great time
for our community

since four of our catechumens,

Gad, Medhi, Anna and Victoire

will mark a milestone

in their journey
towards baptism.

They are going to do their first vote.
Nothing to do with a vote.

Scrutiny, it comes from a Latin word

which means
“look attentively”.

And it's been true for many months,

our catechumens watched
carefully the Scriptures,

learned to read the Bible

and they desire,
through this first ballot,

say they are starting
their discernment.

And maybe,
in a few weeks,

we will all be gathered around them
for the celebration

of their baptism,

for this dive into grace
and in the love of God.

I went to Koranic school.

If they find out, it's really okay
make them mad

and then even people...

No, I...

I say nothing.

I also passed
by Protestantism.

It's been years
that I live it in secret.

-Wait, you...

“You passed”, that is to say?

and then in an abbey one day,
I retired and...

I tasted the real presence
of Christ in the Eucharist.

And then I decided...
I asked to be Catholic.

-It’s Gad Elmaleh.

Gad?

Gad Elmaleh ?

Two seconds, come on.

-Good morning.

-Ah, that’s...

I adore.

-We're going to the synagogue, and you?

-Me too,
I went to see my father...

Finally the Father... the...

-Did you wear tephillin?

-No, but not now...

After.
-It's fast.

Really, it takes a few minutes.

-We're in the street.

-How do they do it in New York?
In the street, like that,

they are comfortable.

Two seconds,
I still put on the kippah first.

-My taxi is coming.
-It's fast.

You have to put them on every day
for luck.

It's perfect.

You know,
Don't talk until the end.

He nods.

THANKS.

He speaks in Hebrew.

Gad prays in Hebrew.

...

He hasn't forgotten!

(-How are you ?)

(-Yes, yes, it’s okay.)

-What ?

-No.

They moan indistinctly.

-I can ask you again
just one question?

-Yes.

-You are thinking
with the heart or the head?

-Me, with the heart.

Waltz music

-Good evening, Brazil.

Hello, Rio de Janeiro.

*-Good evening, how are you?
-I'm fine,

thank you. And you?

*-Tudo bom por aqui.

Enjoy the view.
-Thank you very much.

What is he doing there?

They are everywhere.

...

Hebrew song

...

...

-AMEN.

-And me ?

Thank you for your hospitality.

-You haven't forgotten.

-No, it's not okay or what?

Shabbat shalom.

It's good.

-It's the story of an old...
-There's a joke.

-An old man, he said to the doctor:

"I'm embarrassed."
The doctor said: “Useless,

“say what’s wrong.”

“Look...I don’t know
how to say that,

"but when I make love,

“I hear whistling.”

The doctor looks at him and says:

"You expected
to applause?"

Discreet laughter

Frank laughter

...

And that of the Ashkenazi...
-Oh no !

-Especially not !

-Change jokes!

Laughter

Be careful, it stings.

-It is good for the healt.

-It's so good.

-But of course
that I'm going to play it nice.

Tomorrow we're going to see the Berdugo girl.

-Who ?

-The Berdugo girl.

Don't you know?
-No.

-His son got married
with a Catholic.

When the father knew,
He died instantly.

She, she is
on a ventilator

in Saint Anthony,
Holy I-don't-know-what.

Sigh

In any case, Valérie,
if something happens to me,

nor in Saint Louis

nor in Saint Maclou.
I'm Lariboisière

or the Neuilly Hospital.

In any case, thank God, Gad,
you are a good son. It's not you...

-Shall we stop there?

Stop.

Comedy is enough.

Cinema is enough.

We know everything with Dad.

William told us everything.

And we saw

the Virgin in your room.

-You searched.

-That's not the problem.

-Yes !

-He denies his origins.

-But anything !

You change God,
changes parents.

Get adopted.

-Gad...

This can't continue.

What happened in the USA?

Is this Trump’s influences?

-But stop, what are you talking about?

-Return to your religion.
The one that was instilled in you.

You can't, like that, for...

a passing influence,
turn our whole lives upside down.

-This is my story.

-But your story,
This is us, your story.

-You are my son, you are our son

and we don't want to lose you.
Do you understand that?

-I didn't choose.

-You went to get him.

-No.

She imposed herself on me,

she came to me...

-Think about problems
that you cause us.

-You don't think about me.

-I'm thinking of you.

I think only of you.

-You don't take this as a path.

For you, it is a mistake.
-A path ?

I believe that in the Jewish religion,

you haven't taken all the paths.
You've barely started.

-You are a Sephardic Jew.

Do you know what that means?

Because before, we were in Spain.

There is a dirt from Isabelle

who expelled us in 1492

and she was neither Muslim
nor Buddhist.

It was Isabelle the Catholic.

She said: "I would like
marry you,

"to a king of Spain, a shithead,

"in condition
that Spain is free of Jews.

“You send them to me.”

We call that
the Treaty of the Alhambra, 1492.

It's like that.

So she kicks us out,

She kicks you out and you come back.
Do what you want.

What do you want
what can I tell you?

They are charming, your Christians.

-And Pope John Paul II
who is asking

sorry to the Jews?

-That's the lesser of it.
2,000 years of trouble.

Are we back on par?

"Pardon.

"I murdered you, massacred you,
pardon. Excuse me."

And you forgive.

Forgiven.

What were you looking for there?

In my head, it's spinning...

Is it the stained glass windows?
Gargoyles?

It's what ?

It's true, rabbis are bearded.

At the synagogue,

it's a mess.
At home, it's tidier,

it's more beautiful...

But for us, beauty is there.
Not in the bell towers,

in basilicas.
Little laugh

Oh ! Not here !

Not here.

We ring the bell.

-What is there?

Take it down a notch.

(-What ?)

(-You think
that I'm going to leave a friend)

(get lost like that?)

(It's not possible.)
(-If you're a friend...)

(-Shh, come on. Shh.)

And the traditions?

-What traditions?

You don't understand anything
to what you pray.

You don't understand anything, you don't read Hebrew,
you don't speak Hebrew.

You're not trying to understand.
I want to.

And I want to go all the way.

-Until the end ?

Are you going to change your name?

-Well yes, I thought about it.
I have to take a baptismal name.

-You're a real sick person.

So what ?

Say. At the point where we are.

-Jean Marie.

-Jean Marie ?

But you're completely unlocked, man.

-For Jean-Marie Lustiger.

-Jean-Marie Lustiger.

But we will think of everything except him.

To Jean-Marie Lepen...

Jean-Marie Bigard.

Can you imagine?

Jean-Marie Elmaleh at the Olympia,
produced by KTO TV.

You're really not well.

Melancholy music on the trumpet

...

(-I salute you marie
full of grace.)

(The Lord is with you.)

(You are blessed
among all women,

and Jesus, the fruit
of your bowels, is blessed.)

(Saint Mary, mother of God,)

(pray for us, poor sinners,)

(NOW)

(and at the hour of our death.)

(Amen.)

Bursts of laughter

Sorry, I know it's tense.

We don't want to talk
of religion in France.

Well, all over the world.

"Oh dear,
What is he going to say?”

“Don’t talk about religion.”

“There is secularism.”

Laughter

“You’re crazy to talk about religion.

"If the guys
of secularism pass...

Laughter

"You are dead.

"There are extremists,
at home too."

Are there any Christians in the room?

You see. If you say to a guy:

“Are you firej?”
"Yeah, so what? What is it?"

And you, are you Muslim?

Hamdullah.

He speaks in Arabic.

And you, are you Catholic?
"It is more complicated than that...

Laughter

"So, well...

...

"It is complicated.
My baptized sister... Uh...

“Atheist mom...

"Dad where are you ?"

What is your problem,
the Catholics ?

What is the problem
Catholics,

in the world and in France?

Calm music

...

-What happens?

to your son?

-Well, something terrible,

really terrible

for us.

-Tell me.
-I find it hard to say.

Tell me calmly.

-He is in love with the Virgin.

-And that’s a problem?

-It is a disaster.

-But she is beautiful,
the Virgin Mary.

She is Jewish,
she is beautiful, she is rich.

But above all,

she does not exist.

-Yes, but my son, he exists,
and I see him acting...

-Your son,
he seeks the divine presence.

In the Torah, she is called Myriam.

And Myriam,
she took a pseudonym.

She called herself Marie.

So he's a pretext.

You must understand.

But already,

he didn't go to look at the side

of Krishna,

-... of Vishnu.

He stayed

in the family.

Tell me frankly.

When he was young,

Did he have his bar mitzvah?

-Of course.

-In a synagogue?
-Yes.

-It was ugly, the synagogue.
-Yes.

-That's all !
It was ugly, the synagogue.

It is an artist,
he likes beautiful things,

so he will like to open,
open a church post office.

That's all.

You think
that it is idolatry,

that he became an idolater.

That's not idolatry.
-That's how I took it.

-That's not idolatry.

There are Jews
who become Muslims,

even imams.

There are Jews
who become priests.

There are some who even become
archbishops,

others become cardinals,

there are even some
who become Christ.

Everything will be alright.

Tell him I'd like to see him.

-Okay, count on me.

Gad laughs.

The Virgin
came to see you in New York?

It's your life, let me know.

Actually,
she is the perfect woman for you.

You live together,
but you are at peace.

She is not there.

There's no "At what time
you come home ?",

“Haven’t you seen my keys?”
“Come to bed, darling.”

-In addition...
This woman, she doesn't move,

She doesn't age, she doesn't get fat.
She is there, she smiles.

That's what you like.
-No. No.

-Right away.
Of course I know her.

Of course.
-Go ahead.

-It's a woman who cheated
her boyfriend who was traveling.

That's not serious,
It happens to very good people.

She was alone,
she had visitors,

finally of the visitation,
it's more suitable.

Laughter

They went to bed,
sleep.

During sleep, conception.

And the next day,
there's Joseph, miskin...

-Miskin, Joseph.

-He was making his kindling
calm,

he comes back, he was among customers...

He was in clientele in Bethlehem
or I don't know where,

-You know !
-The annunciation.

- Well there you go, everything fits. So.

-I'm sure you wouldn't make fun
of the Torah.

-It's true.
-Well then?

-No, but seriously, it's crazy.

I do not mind
that you love the Virgin.

Go light some candles,
greet her if you want,

but stay with us.

it's that you deny yourself,
you deny what you are.

-I swear to you, no.

-That's what I feel.
-No.

-I tell you my feelings.
-I'm just wondering.

-We need to find answers there,
because it's not possible.

Why don't you have a fit?
normal fifty?

Put on a t-shirt with a head
of death, a shark tattoo,

is going to run the Paris marathon,

buy a sports car,

fuck a very tall little girl,

and you stop bothering us.
We know how to manage that.

-Walk a little to see.

Is the foot moving or not?

-The foot is moving?
-Yes...

-I walk. Yes, he moves.

-I'll get you
one size larger.

-THANKS.

Gad sighs.

I don't know, I...

You see, what's crazy,
it's that...

the big decisions,
I take them like this,

and the little ones, I struggle.

Sometimes listen,
I am at the restaurant

I look at the menu

and I hesitate between two salads
40 minutes,

while one day while shaving,

I decided to leave
in another country.

Hence this concern
that I have that is that,

for the first time in my life,
the enormous decision of baptism,

I have difficulty taking it.

You see ?

-But it's a story
meeting.

Your baptism,
It's not just a decision,

it’s a meeting.

It's been years
that you are upset by Marie.

We talk about Mary
in a shoe store.

-You know, I even wonder if...

if Protestantism would not be
spent a little more...

a little softer.
It's quite close to Judaism.

-Here, we're not talking about a destination
travel, in fact.

You ask yourself 1,000 questions.

You're going in all directions.
-Normal.

-You speak
a story of shoes,

this is really a problem for you

and you need to ask yourself
the real questions.

It's really your decision.

“Lo Castèl Roge”
(Cocanha)

...

-Yeah, mam, it's me.
I wanted to tell you that...

I was leaving for 2-3 days, there,

to rest a little at...

friends.

I'll keep you informed,
everything is fine.

I strongly embrace you.

Soft music

...

Bells ring.

...
...

...

It's super big, actually.

-There you go, OK?

-It'll be OK.
-OK.

-Is room service 24 hours a day?

Laugh

-I didn't tell you,
meals are in silence.

You must not speak
during meals.

For mass times,
security guards, 2:30 a.m.,

Lauds, at 5:30 a.m.

-In the morning ?
-Yes.

Sext at 11 a.m., nun at 3 p.m.

and vespers, at 10 p.m. on Sunday.

For Monday,
vespers are at 10:15 p.m.,

but lauds are at 6 a.m.

If you step back
a 30 min prayer,

don't go back to the next one,

because, for example on Thursday,
security guards are at 2:30 a.m.

while lauds,
they pass at 3:30.

Normally, they are at 5:30 a.m.

You are warning, I imagine.

Finally you...

You ring the morning bell.

It's a little complicated.

This is a time when I need...

to be alone
with myself and to pray.

I would be happy to come and assist

at masses.
-For the one from earlier,

she's not at 10 p.m.
It's at 9:45 p.m.

You're not wrong,

because since it lasts
only a quarter of an hour,

if you arrive at 10 p.m.,
it will be finished.

Sister Catherine
told me you were...

that you worked in the circus.

-No, not the circus.

-I understood
that you were a clown.

*-When we convert
to Christianity,

we are baptized,
there is an official act.

But conversion is first
in fact a spiritual act,

there is a dimension of the heart.

Human being
who converts to a religion,

it is first of all a conversion
interior which does not require

an external conversion,
an official change of religion.

There are historical figures,

even in the 20th century, for example,

the philosopher Simone Veil
or the philosopher Henri Bergson,

they were converted
to Christianity at heart,

although they were Jews,

but never have
wanted to be baptized.

They remained attached
to their community,

even if their hearts
were Christians.

Do not confuse the size
interior of religion

with the dimension
community identity.

-PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD

PRAISE SERVANTS OF THE LORD

PRAISE HIM BECAUSE HE IS GOOD

CELEBRATE THE GENTLENESS OF HIS NAME

COME, LET’S CRY FOR JOY
FOR THE LORD

LET’S CHEER THE ROCK...

-Yeah, Gad? Where are you ?

I don't know if you are still
among the brothers,

but the mass begins.

I admit
that we can't have a vote

without the catechumen.

We're waiting for you.
Let me know as soon as possible, thank you.

Soft music

...

Someone is approaching.

-Good morning.

It's for you.

So that you continue to bring

happiness
and may He keep you serene

and soothed.

-Excuse me Miss.

I do not want to disturb you.

-The candle, the prayer,
I didn't understand at the time...

-It's normal,
I pray a lot for people.

-But we do not know each other...

-It's a command.

"Carry the burdens of others
and fulfill the law of Christ.”

Good day.

-No but... thank you. I want to...

I want to pray for you.
I do not know how to do.

-It is very simple.

You ask the Lord
what you want,

but you do
in your own words.

You have to stay yourself
and it happens by itself.

-I stop here.

-I am here.

-No !
-If.

-Do you live there?

-No, I'm going to see someone.

-Oh yeah.

-You want to come ?

It would make him so happy.

Are you okay, Raymond? It's me.

I brought a surprise guest.

Close the door.

How are you ?

Meet each other,
I have to make lunch.

-How are you ?

I... Can I?
-Yeah.

...

-You live here

I don't know how long.
My father already lived there.

So.

And where do you live?

-Everywhere, I travel a lot.

-Oh well, yeah...

-But I... I'm making a path.

-Ah that's good.
It's good to make a path.

What is this path?

SO...

It's a personal path,

So much the better, that's good.

-I live under the protection of Marie.

-That's good, I like Virgo.

Yeah, I like it.

The mother too, Anna.

-Oh yeah ?

-Maria and Marie is family,

it's quite a problem.

Gad laughed softly.

Eh yes.

-Have you been baptized?

-Ah well yes, that was the custom.

Communion, all that stuff.

But OK...

I came across priests
strange, their way of talking...

It is also necessary that opposite, there is

a respondent.
We have it or we don't have it, faith.

-You have it ?

-Me no. No.

No, no, I don't have faith.

Faith... No, no.

I'm lucky...

It’s Agnès I’m talking to.

-Bless us, Lord.

Bless this meal,
gives bread and joy

to those who don't have one.

Praise be to you, Lord,
to allow us to welcome Gad.

Amen.

Lord, thank you uh...

of...

-I thought a lot, a lot.

-Yes ?

-And...

I renounce baptism.

Sigh of relief

-Listen, darling.

You do what you want...

It's your...

It is your good will.

-My son, you do as you want,

but it's better like this.

-That's great.
-Tell me,

they will reimburse you
the costs you have...

No ?

-You shouldn't lie.

It's too complicated,
it makes them suffer.

The very idea is unthinkable.

In the United States, I could
make my way, but there...

I prefer to say that I cancel,
I am baptized in secret,

and that's it, I'm at peace.

Humming

...

-Blessed is he
who doesn't ask for directions

to someone who knows him.

-Otherwise he would risk...

-NOT TO GET LOST.

-SO ?

-You were lucky to have gotten lost.

So...
You're looking for what that means.

-But what I want to tell you,
it's that...

What my father doesn't understand...

This is my life, I'm going to be 50.

I think... Well...

It's hard to tell you this,

but I am under protection
of the Virgin Mary.

She said :
“Don’t worry, buddy,

“Nothing will happen to you.”
And I've felt it from the start.

She needs you.

And that is very important.

But more generally,

all Catholics
need the Jews.

Look at Monsignor Lustiger.
Jean Marie. A model

maybe for you too.
-Yes, totally.

-He made his first speech
at Paris Cathedral in Yiddish.

It doesn't matter if we understand it.

He does it for those
whose soul would understand Yiddish.

And I'm going to do "long story short",

What does he beg before his death?
To be buried with the Jews.

A cardinal,

and he asks that we say Kaddish,
the Jewish prayer for the dead.

So take a role model,

avoid all this wandering
and understand that you

like him without suspecting,

helped the Catholics
to understand that even a Jewish pope

would not be Catholic,
he would be Jewish.

And you, what do you choose
basically ?

Organ music

...

-Your absence from the last election
means something.

-No I do not think so.
It's just a storm.

It goes in all directions
and that's a lot for me.

Besides, I met
an incredible woman...

-I'll stop you right now,

it's a bad idea
to convert for someone.

-That's not what...

No, it's someone
with whom I exchange

and that made me really feel
the meaning of it all, you see,

deep joy.

She showed me
that it can change your life.

-Gad, I don't want to push you,

I do not want
to try to convince you,

to tell you to give up
would be an error.

I respect your freedom too much for that.

Clinking of glasses
-L’chaim!

-Find other jokes.

-If you become anti-Semitic,
I can't do anything for you.

We ring the bell.

-Tell us another joke.

-Happy birthday !
-THANKS !

-Let me introduce you to my cousins.

My friends, Julia...
-Nice to meet you.

-Agnes.
-...Mikki.

My sister, Judith...

There you go, I told you about Agnès.
-Yes yes.

-And mama.

There you go, Agnes.
-Nice to meet you.

-She's my friend I told you about
who studies law

and which is exceptional,
I love it.

-Where did you meet?

Not in college,
because Gad and studies...

-No,

it was at the church...

-No, finally yes...
No, the first day,

we met

in a candle store,
the first time.

-Well...

-Welcome.

-HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Cheers

-THANKS !

Hebrew song

...

THANKS !

Thanks, it's good.

He's good, he's good.

-Gift !

-It's what ?

-The Tablets of the Law!

He tears the packaging.

-Oh yeah.

Exclamations of surprise

-Well done, Régine.
-Yeah, well done.

-It's beautiful.

-No, but my mother,
she did a Van Gogh, huh?

-I didn't dare give you that
in front of everybody.

These are passages
of the confessions of Saint Augustine.

You'll see, it's so beautiful

and that is Lourdes water,
to bring you luck.

And your parents,
they have a big heart.

Tell them about the baptism.

No need to lie to them,
I saw how they love you.

They will understand, I'm sure.

You will be happy to have them
with you for this moment in your life.

It's so important.

Trust me.
-THANKS.

-See you soon.

-What are you doing to us?

Do you want to kill your father?
-What ?

-Are you kidding us?

You told us you canceled.
He is sick of it.

It was forgotten for us,
Baptism.

You tell us stories.

-Is there a change?

Yes or no ?

We're losing you.

I feel like that.

-You're not losing me,
It’s a path that I take.

-A path ?
-Yes, I need

to go all the way.

And it has nothing to do with you,
it's in my heart.

Do not worry.

I am under his protection.
She protects me.

-What ?

-She watches over me.

OK, OK, stay protected.

Challah.

Do what you want.

-Have the luggage brought up
by Mr. Elmaleh.

THANKS.

They sing in Hebrew.

...

They hum.

-Listen to me, I'm not going to pass

by four paths.

You're going to leave my son alone.

He already has a mother and it's me.

Yes, you will tell me
that you protect him, that this, that that.

You're going to talk to me
of the church of Casablanca, etc.

I know all that, it's over.

It's all over.

I'm losing my son.

It's not yours
that I will explain what it is.

And again, yours came back.

He left in pain,
but he came back.

But if mine goes away,

he will never come back.

-You know what good is left,
in truth ?

What I do on stage,

speak with the public,
that's important to me.

There remains spirituality...

Laughter

-What is that ?

...

-"What is it, uh...

...

“Are you buying this on Amazon?”

...

At the same time you know what,

you were taken away, but if I had to
defining it would be hot.

Somewhere, maybe it's...

-Your relationship to the universe.

-Your relationship to the universe,
or God as you understand him,

maybe the irrational...

And... Wow, damn.

Uh...

How do you explain? It's hot.

-Hey !

That's funny, isn't it?
-What ?

-A skeptic
who wants antiseptic.

-You're a comedian, it's true.

When I think that I knew
Thierry le Luron,

we have fallen very low.

Say, you closed the shutters well
and the windows?

-Yeah. Why do you want
that I close everything?

-I do not want
let the other film me.

-Who ?
-Macron, he’s in on it.

-But no, he doesn't care.

He has something else to do
that you are filming, Raymond.

-He's an Illuminati
like the others.

-But no.
-Yes, it is.

-For what...
-Remember, his first speech

-Where did he make this speech?

At the Louvre ! In front of the pyramid.

-So what ?
-Triangular of course!

-They rule the world

-What “but no”? But if !
You still suck your thumb.

I think there is more chance

that the popes have changed

in global conspiracy
with the Illuminati

that a woman has been impregnated
by a spirit

and remained a virgin after having
gave birth to the son of God.

I can help you ?

What opportunity?
-Baptism.

-A baptism ? It's this way.

It's iconography,

These are reproductions of stained glass windows.

-Do you have this,
but a little softer?

-Softer?

My loving parents, I don't know
how to explain my choice.

But I don't want it anymore
to lie to you.

Especially not a second time.

My baptism will take place this Sunday
at Sainte Cécile church

and I want you to be there.

I want you to accompany me.
I can't do this without you.

Everything is organized.

I got from Father Barthélemy
to have a kosher buffet.

I love you very much, Gad.

-The rabbi’s office?

-Straight ahead and it's on the right.

-Basically, if I go all out
and one day I...

I'm sorry, how is it going?

Is there a number?

-After-sales service?

You won't be able to come back

because you won't be able to leave.

The Jewish house,
you can look for the exit,

but no one has ever found it.

We don't know what it's about.

Jews have always lived
in a somewhat broken house.

They tell each other
that the temple is destroyed,

it's been a long time since Moses
broke the Tablets of the Law.

At each wedding,
they have a drink.

Every time there is a baby,

we take away
a little something...

The Jewish house is a little shaky.

But what I tell you, you know.

You know it well because...

you know you're broken.

When I see you, when I listen to you,

when I watch your shows,
your sketches,

you're still coming home
in someone else's shoes

who seems to be at home.

The skin of a Canadian,
of an American,

of a blond, of a guy

who has the trunk
from his car tidy,

who has super polite children...

The reason why you arrive

to enter
in the shoes of these guys,

It's because it's not you.

It's because you are
a little more broken than that,

than the trunk of your car,
it is not tidy,

and that it is
a little more wobbly than that.

And because it's shaky,
you look from the outside

and you're not quite there.

And maybe
that you are never so much yourself

that when you are on the way
towards somewhere else.

But are you supposed to
get somewhere?

Is your journey,
he stops...

at the foot of a church?

Soft music

...

Bells ring.

...

(-They will arrive.)

Religious music

...

-Are you okay, Anna?
It's a pleasure to see you.

(-What time is it ?)

-It's the big day, isn't it?

...

So, are they coming?

-I don't know.

-Do you remember
from this passage from the Gospel:

"He who leaves
for me his father,

"his mother, his brother, his sister

"will receive a hundredfold
and eternal life."

Not bad.

...

-How are you ?
-Yes, are you ready?

-Yeah, thanks for being here.

Are you okay, Mathieu?

Go ahead, it will start.

-Good morning.

-We can't wait any longer.

...

(-How are you ?)

...

-You came.

-Yes.

Here, darling.

-It's what ?

-I had inspiration,
I did it to you.

...

-Come on,

it is going to begin.

-Yes, come back. Get comfortable.

That, I'm going to ask...

-On the left, just in the oratory.
Go ahead.

-Where ?
-To the left.

Bell ringing

Over there.

...

Good morning. Aren't you coming home?

-Good morning. No. No thanks.
Thank you so much.

-Should I leave the door open?
-Yes.

Just a little bit.

Thank you so much.

...

-We have arrived at the point
culmination of this celebration

since I will have joy
to baptize our four catechumens.

This gesture is neither trivial nor banal,
it is very old,

since Christ

himself

left this command
to his disciples:

“Baptize them in the name of the Father,
of the Son and the Holy Spirit"

for 2,000 years now.

So through this baptism,

Gad, Medhi, Anna, Victory,

you will receive
this love of God

who will make you a child of God.

The Lord will tell each of you,

"You are my son,
you are my beloved daughter,

“in whom I have put all my love.”

So let's pray,
let us pray for our catechumens,

let's pray that this moment will be
founder in their spiritual life

and they can feel
deep in their soul

this love of God which surrounds them.

Amen.

Soft music

Soft music and choirs

I call Medhi.

-Here I am.

-Anna.

-Here I am.

...

-Mehdi, you can come closer
with your godfather

for your baptism.

...

Mehdi,

I baptize you in the name of the Father,

of the Son and the Holy Spirit.

...

-I know what you're saying to yourself.

That I didn't make it to the end.

Since I was a kid,
you watch over me.

When I try
to tell about our meeting,

I can't even do it.

Thank you for looking out for me.

I love you so much.

Such.

I'm not staying with you, yes,

but you stay with me.

All my life,
I asked you to pray for me.

Today, please,

let me pray for you.

-I checked and you were right.

There is no Illuminati,

nor campaigns
mass sterilization

carried out by Satanists.

There's not even a papal conspiracy.

Before I had a belief,
I knew what to think.

It worried me and at the same time,

that reassured me.

I understood the world.
NOW...

I understand
that I don't understand anything anymore.

Finally I tell you this to you,

you're still connected
with your risen one.

-Raymond,

I don't know anything about it
if Jesus was resurrected,

I don't know if Moses...

split the Red Sea in two.

-Well, you’re not a believer?

-If.

but have faith,
it's having doubt.

There may be a God,
but it is impossible to verify.

But one might wonder if...

live with this hypothesis,
it brings us something.

And if living with
brings us joy or not.

-They are strong, the Catholics,
They got you!

-You will come back ?

-But of course, why do you say that?

-This time it seems different.

-But no but no.

Mom,

departures,
we've been doing this all our lives. Eh ?

It never stopped us
to find us again.

-Of course, of course.

David speaks in Hebrew.

-May God protect you.

Go, my son. Come on.

-Ciao, my son.

-Have a good trip, darling.

He's opening the door.
