Aide toi, le ciel t'aidera

Synopsis
During the hottest summer of the century, young Christie Moussa's wedding is a big collective party for the African community in Paris. But that day will be a real nightmare for the girl's highly strung mother, Sonia. Robert, her 80-year-old neighbor, is the only person she can turn to. Whiter than him is hard to find. More helpful either. Fights, deaths, jealousies and passions fly during the wedding ceremony and the consequences follow Sonia in a "human comedy", where her sister's hairdressers provides a magical place where every drama can also be turned into something to smile about.
