What happens if you live in England and you're not a very observant Muslim but your son is in love with a girl whose mother has just married a Muslim fundamentalist in the world? And what happens if the strange cases of life discover that in fact your name is Mahmoud and Solomon, but you were born to a Jewish family before being adopted by a Muslim family?
Filmed with great humor and irony, the film (and is the second English in this festival to talk about religion with that tone) seems to emphasize the humanity irrespective of one's religion, as if the West turns out more tollerante di quanto le guerre di religione non vogliano far credere. Ottimo l'attore Omid Djalili e la sua counterpart ebraica Richard Schiff, che in una perfetta metafora per il film, dopo un breve battibecco nel traffico, da vicino di casa dispettoso si trasforma in alleato del collega musulmano-ebraico alla ricerca di un'identità, quale che essa sia. Da vedere.
