Have y'all heard of this? Sounds interesting...
From rottentomatoes.com:
During the early 1960's, Paris, like the much of Europe, was an explosion of life.
As the old gave way to the new, everything was in flux and the city was filled with
a energy that promised cultural shifts and social change. Against this
background, in a working class neighborhood, two unlikely characters--a young
Jew and an elderly Muslim--begin a friendship. When we meet Momo (Pierre
Boulanger) , he is in effect an orphan even though he lives with his father, a man
slowly retreating into a crippling depression. His only friends are the street
whores who treat him with genuine affection. Momo buys his groceries at the
neighborhood shop, a crowded dark space owned and run by Ibrahim (Omar
Sharif), a silent exotic looking man who sees and knows more than he lets on.
After Momo is abandoned by his father, Ibrahim becomes the one grownup in
Momo's life. Together they begin a journey that will change their lives forever
