    • Meet Amadeus, a charming 50-year-old Italian antique dealer, who finds himself smitten with the stunning Tunisian beauty, Betty (Badra), a woman much his junior. Their bond is forged in moments of life-saving heroics. But as their relationship blossoms, a new challenge arises – the in-laws smell opportunity, envisioning a wealthy, doting son-in-law. However, the Imam throws a curveball, demanding Amadeus undergo circumcision and convert to Islam. Firmly grounded in his Italian identity and unwilling to compromise his personal integrity, Amadeus stands his ground, threatening a hasty exit once more. In this cross-cultural clash, will the power of love prevail, or will tradition and family obligations tear the couple apart?
