A rich Jewish cloth manufacturer takes Eddie into his corporation out of pity because he mistakenly believes him to be Jewish as well.

Après un énième problème avec un détaillant qui ne peut pas payer sa marchandise, ils entreprennent de mettre le pied dans le monde impitoyable de la grande distribution en travaillant avec, une chaîne européenne d'hypermarchés. Reçus dans un premier temps par Peznec, dubitatif quant à la marchandise, ils sont finalement pris en charge par Denis Vierhouten, directeur des achats d'Eurodiscount.

Albert (Michel Boujenah) et Moïse (Richard Anconina) Lévy sont issus du milieu juif ultra-orthodoxe d'Anvers mais ne se parlent plus depuis qu'Albert a quitté sa famille pour Paris où il a ouvert un café non-cachère et s'est marié avec Brigitte, une non-juive. Son frère Moïse, lui, respecte scrupuleusement les rites et coutumes juives, s’est marié dans les plus strictes règles, ne sort de son milieu que lorsque son métier d’ouvrier diamantaire l’y oblige et parle occasionnellement à Dieu, qui se révèle à lui au milieu de la fumée et de sons stridents. Goliath (Maxime Leroux) est garagiste et dealer.

The film begins with Sallah Shabati, a Mizrahi Jewish immigrant, arriving with his family in Israel. Upon arrival he is brought to live in a ma'abara, or transit camp. He is given a broken down, one room shack in which to live with his family and spends the rest of the movie attempting to make enough money to purchase adequate housing. His money-making schemes are often comical and frequently satirize the political and social stereotypes in Israel of the time.
