An Iraqi in Paris

Assyrian Samuel Shimon, known as a relentless raconteur, a modern Odysseus, the Iraqi Don Quixote, dreams of becoming a Hollywood film-maker, but ends up in Paris, a homeless refugee, writing, with wit & humour, the story of his Iraqi childhood, his deaf-dumb father and his heroes John Ford and Jean Valjean as a timely 'manifesto of tolerance'.

Asirianul Samuel Shimon, cunoscut ca un povestitor neobosit, un Ulise modern, un Don Quijote irakian, viseaza sa devina regizor de film la Hollywood, dar ajunge la Paris, ca refugiat fara adapost, scriind, cu umor si spirit, povestea copilariei sale irakiene, a tatalui sau surdo-mut si a eroilor sai John Ford si Jean Valjean, ca un ,,manifest al tolerantei" oportun.
