Occupied France, 1942. Gilles is arrested by SS soldiers alongside other Jews and sent to a camp in Germany. He narrowly avoids sudden execution by swearing to the guards that he is not Jewish, but Persian. This lie temporarily saves him, but Gilles gets assigned a life-or-death mission: to teach Farsi to Head of Camp Koch, who dreams of opening a restaurant in Iran once the war is over. Through an ingenious trick, Gilles manages to survive by inventing words of "Farsi" every day and teaching them to Koch.
Alisa Lenz and luck? Her boyfriend cheats on her, then leaves her with a mountain of debts... She ruins her job application by angering the company's CEO... She loses the cut-glass pendant that was the only keepsake from her biological parents - and that was her good-luck charm... Decidedly, luck does not seem to smile on Alisa. But if you think this is enough to keep her from pursuing her goal of happiness and fulfillment, you don't know Alisa!
