The journey from childhood to adulthood is fraught with highs and lows, and its no different for thirteen-year-old Amnon Feierberg (or Nono, as hes nicknamed), Nono (newcomer Thomas Simon), the son of the worlds greatest police inspector, is on a train trip to see his boring uncle when adventure calls. He meets his fathers arch-nemesis, notorious criminal Felix Glick, and puts his detective skills to work, wearing disguises and evading police as he heads to the French Riviera, where Felix introduces Nono to seductive nightclub chanteuse Lola Ciperola (Isabella Rossellini). With only twenty-four hours to go before his Bar Mitzvah, Nono must complete his high-stakes mission while also confronting the mystery of his own identity and the truth about the mother he has never known. Adapting the beloved book by acclaimed Israeli writer David Grossman, Flemish writer-director Vincent Bal has created a witty, spirited and action-packed adventure.
