"...a small film with an unabashed, even old-fashioned but timeless humanist spirit - and a triumphant portrayal by a veteran star that is likely to be regarded as one of the year's best" - Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

Omar Sharif breaks his self-imposed exile from acting to star as an elderly Muslim widower from Turkey who develops a friendship with a young Jewish teenager (Pierre Boulanger). Set amongst the crowded, working-class backstreets of Paris in the early 1960s, this coming-of-age tale follows the development of their warm relationship, which sees the boy finding a much-needed father figure in Ibrahim. The boy, in turn, revitalizes Ibrahim with a renewed love of life. "Omar Sharif gives a performance of great warmth and charm" (Stephen Farber, Movieline). In French with English subtitles.
