01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film begins in a working-class neighborhood in the Paris of the 1960s. The main character, ''Moїse Schmidt'' (Momo), is a young Jewish boy growing up without a mother and with a father afflicted by crippling clinical depression. Momo is fascinated by the elderly Turkish people Muslim man, Ibrahim Demirci (), who runs a grocery store across the street from his apartment (where Momo often shoplifts). Their relationship develops and soon Momo feels closer to Ibrahim than to his father. Ibrahim affectionately calls Moїse Momo, and adopts him when his father leaves and commits suicide. Momo and Ibrahim go on a journey to Turkey, Ibrahim's native country, in their new car (a Simca Aronde) where Momo learns about Ibrahim's culture. At the end of their adventure, Ibrahim is killed in a car crash and Momo returns to Paris to take over the shop.
