Omar is a young and lively, rather macho Algerian who holds a good job in the Department of Frauds and lives in a crowded apartment with his sisters, his mother and grandparents. He loves to listen to Arabian and Indian music, to party with his friends, and to dream about women. A friend of his gives him a tape; when he listens to it, he is fascinated by the woman’s voice. That same friend arranges for him to meet the woman, who is totally different from what he had imagined on hearing her voice.Origin USAGenres Drama,

A sophomore majoring in engineering, Yusef (Bobby Naderi) seeks living quarters with fellow Muslims after a year in the godless dorms. He moves—rather improbably, given his conservative nature—into a building inhabited by various punky misfits (it is unclear whether they are also students) wrestling with their cultural and religious identity. Or, as red-mohawked guitarist Jehangir (Dominic Rains) puts it, their "mismatching of disenfranchised subcultures." , 1h30

Emmitouflée dans un duffel-coat rouge, Anne, employée au tri postal, se rend à bicyclette à son travail. À quelques coups de pédales, Patrice, patron d'une blanchisserie industrielle, protégé par un masque des gaz d'échappement. Arrêtés côte à côte à un feu rouge, les deux cyclistes en herbe s'échangent un sourire amusé. À peine a-t-elle enfourché son vélo que la chaîne d'Anne déraille. Patrice freine précipitamment et fait montre de ses talents de bricoleur. En guise de remerciement, Anne lui offre un café dans son bistrot fétiche. Entre les deux, le courant passe… Le lendemain, Patrice, désireux de revoir sa belle inconnue, fait une halte au café. Anne, dont l'équipe a voté « le débrayage », est assise au comptoir. Patrice, qui s'apprête à livrer des draps dans un hôtel voisin, lui propose de l'accompagner. Attirés l'un vers l'autre, ils s'embrassent fougueusement dans la buanderie avant de décider de prendre une chambre dans ce même établissement. Le lendemain, Anne prête ses clés à Fabien, un collègue épuisé par ses trajets domicile-travail. Dans l'appartement, Fabien se retrouve nez à nez avec Gérard, le mari d'Anne, baroudeur disparu sous les tropiques six mois plus tôt., 1h39

Réda (Nicolas Cazalé) is a French-Moroccan teenager due to sit for Baccalauréat. When his devout father (played by Mohamed Majd) asks Réda to accompany him on a pilgrimage to Mecca, he reluctantly agrees. However, the father insists that they travel by car. As both embark on a road trip thousands of kilometres away from southern France, the once-icy father-and-son relationship starts to thaw as both gradually come to know each other. Réda speaks only in French to his father, who is seen speaking only Arabic for the majority of the film. Later, when necessary, the father proves that he in fact speaks impeccable French; his choice to speak only Arabic to his son is therefore purposeful., 1h30

A group of radicalised young British Muslim men aspire to be suicide bombers. They are Omar (Riz Ahmed), who is deeply critical of Western society and imperialism; his dim-witted friend, Waj (Kayvan Novak); Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a bad-tempered and extremely rash white convert to Islam; and the naive Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), who tries to train crows to be used as bombers. While Omar and Waj go to a terrorist training camp in Pakistan, Barry recruits a reluctant fifth member, Hassan (Arsher Ali). The visit to the training camp ends in disaster, with Omar misfiring a rocket backwards that kills fellow jihadists; however, he uses the experience to assert authority on his return to Britain.
