Flower of the Koran

On the blue streets of Paris in the 1960s, the 16-year-old Moses endured the monotonous depression of life. My mother left home when he was very young, and his father made up an excellent brother who would beat Moses everywhere. Unknowingly, Moses became inferior and gloomy. The only fun seemed to be to secretly save money to find prostitutes and fool around. Ibrahim, the old man who runs a grocery store, likes to call him Momo. He found Momo's hand in hand, but didn't blame him. Instead, he said, "My boy, if you must steal, just steal it in my shop." From this moment onwards, it became tighter.
According to the usual thinking, Ibrahim, the gray-haired old man, should become Momo's spiritual mentor, teaching him honesty, integrity, study hard, discover his inner potential and finally succeed. However, the old man blinked at Momo slyly, taught him to use cat food to pretend to be a farm pie to prepare dinner for his father to save money, playfully joked with female stars, and did not object to Momo looking for prostitutes, and said plausibly. , "My Koran says that it is better for novices to start with these "professionals"".
As a result, as a Jew, Momo became interested in the Muslim world, especially the "Sufis" who believed in Ibrahim. Here, I again anticipated a mistake. I thought that this movie would start to dig out the teachings of Islam, attitudes to life, or something, but I discovered that this movie has nothing to do with religion. Although Ibrahim often said meaningfully, "I know what is in my Koran", his teachings on Momo have little religious significance, and are more like an elder sharing his life experience. Ibrahim himself is even more casual and gentle. After Momo's father died, Ibrahim adopted Momo and immediately closed his small shop graciously. Before he had a driver's license, he bought a pull-out sports car and prepared to take Momo back to his hometown of Turkey. have a look.
Ibrahim finally got into a car accident near his home, and Momo, who inherited his inheritance, got Ibrahim's old Koran, and the pages of the book were already yellowed. Momo opened the book and saw two small blue flowers. Maybe this is what Ibrahim often said "I know what is in my Koran"? Ibrahim is not a saint, a scholar, nor a missionary, but his optimistic and understanding life attitude, like those two little flowers, is unpretentious, calm and elegant.
Momo grew up, guarding Ibrahim's grocery store, and seemed to have become another Mr. Ibrahim.

Monsieur Ibrahim quotes

  • Monsieur Ibrahim: To find out if a country is rich or poor, look at the bins. If there are bins and no rubbish, it's rich. If there's rubbish by the bins, it's neither rich nor poor... it's touristy. And if there's rubbish but no bins, then it's poor.

  • Monsieur Ibrahim: A man's heart is like a caged bird. When you dance, your heart sings... and then rises to heaven.
