Jan loves Jasmin, but she has been promised to a Pakistani nephew who will shortly arrive in Norway in order to marry her. Under cover of writing a thesis on immigrant stores, Jan gets a job in the store of Allahditta and Yousaf, Jasmin’s father and brother-in-law. Yousaf helps Jan to becomve a Moslem, so that he can have Jasmin, and Jan helps Yousaf prepare for his taxi driver’s test.

This is an unusually warm-hearted and generous comedy which with humour investigates Pakistani-Norwegian cultural differences, and problems related to them. |
