Directed  by: Francois Dupeyron based on a novel by Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
Set in the 1960s in Paris' Jewish quarter, Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran is about a troubled Jewish boy, Moses, or Momo, who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a solitary Muslim shopkeeper named Monsieur Ibrahim. When Momo's father, a passive-aggressive lawyer who neglects his son's well being, disappears, Ibrahim adopts the orphaned boy, gives him paternal love and teaches him the knowledge of the Qur'an, in return receiving love and respect.
