Dante Desarthe's light comedy, Dad On the Run, is set against the backdrop of the Pope's August 1997 visit to Paris. Jonas (Clement Sibony, star of Taking Wing), a "professional" Bar Mitzvah entertainer, has just become a father for the first time. Because his family is of mixed Sephardic and Ashkenazi heritage, he and his wife are unsure of which ritual to observe for their son's circumcision. Finally, they decide to follow a North African custom which requires Jonas to bury the foreskin. Things take an unexpected turn when Jonas loses the precious bit of flesh after attempting to bury it at a construction site. A madcap chase ensues through the streets of Paris as Jonas attempts to complete his mission.
In cooperation with the Embassy of France and L'Alliance Française de Washington, DC
