Stay With Us
Synopsis
After three successful years living and working in America, French-Jewish actor and comedian Gad Elmaleh decides to move back home to Paris. He misses his family and friends. Or, at least that's what Gad tells his loving yet overbearing parents Régine and David. However, it's not long before they find out the true reason for their son's return — after a long period of ambivalence towards his Jewishness, Gad has officially decided to convert to Catholicism. Dumbfounded by his sudden obsession with the Virgin Mary, and with only five weeks before his baptism, Gad's family tries everything in their power to bring him back to Judaism for fear of losing him forever.
Inspired by the director's own complicated religious journey and starring Elmaleh's real-life mother and father, STAY WITH US is a heartwarming and charming story about family, faith and acceptance.
