Armand und Leila, Studenten der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, sind frisch verliebt. Gemeinsam haben sie Großes vor: Sie wollen nach New York ziehen und dort ein Praktikum bei den Vereinten Nationen absolvieren. Doch kurz vor ihrer Abreise durchkreuzt Leilas Bruder Mahmoud ihre Zukunftsplanung. Zurück von einem längeren Aufenthalt aus dem Jemen, der ihn verändert hat, wendet er sich gegen die romantische Beziehung seiner Schwester zu einem Mann und beschließt, dass Armand in Leilas Leben nichts verloren hat. Armand und Leila bleibt keine Wahl: Um sich überhaupt treffen zu können, muss Armand einen Niqab tragen, sodass er sie unerkannt besuchen kann. Getarnt als Leilas neue beste Freundin „Scheherazade“ geht Armand zuhause ein und aus – und verdreht Mahmoud mit scheuem Wesen und wunderschönen Augen unbeabsichtigt den Kopf. (NFP)

Sou Abadi blew me away with his sense of humor. Making fun of Muslims and the Koran takes a lot of courage, and he clearly has it. Moreover, he excels in this brisk comedy with unprecedented perspective and ease. (75%)

A French satire that pokes fun at Muslims and their entire religion, but when Muslims make fun of themselves, everything is fine. The film has a very interesting premise. We have a couple in love, but the girl’s brother comes back from Yemen, where he’s been radicalised and he’s starting to get a bit off kilter. Of course he keeps his sister locked up at home and doesn't tolerate any friends of other nationalities. So the boyfriend hatches a plan to put on a Hijab and pretend to be the new sister so he can see his girlfriend, but Mahmoud soon falls in love with the sister! Some sequences are very funny, the scene where the son dressed in a hijab sits in the bus and his mother who hates Muslims stands opposite him is really good, and there are more situations like that. Those who know a bit about Arab culture will understand the allusions more, but the French really do it tastefully, intelligently and with wit. 75%

The French aren’t afraid of anything. This crazy comedy is based off a completely ridiculous idea. It’s then boosted by dialogues which aren’t exactly politically correct at times and lay into Muslims on purpose. It’s nice that it’s Muslims laying into Muslims, so if anyone has any problems, they can say it was still okay. Because I had a good laugh, which, truth be told, I didn’t expect at all.
