Tarik Jihad and Rasoul Abu-Marzuk were best friends as children, living in a Muslim neighbourhood in Paris. Ten years later, Tarik (gay and excluded from his community) is a mediocre singer, competing for a place at the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv without much hope. However, a French IS cell led by Rasoul’s father hatches a terrorist plan. Tarik must make it to the final in Israel and Rasoul must accompany him to plant a bomb. The Mossad starts to pursue them. An entertaining action comedy with plenty of innuendo.
