- Synopsis
- It’s the summer of 1998. France wins the World Cup. Adam, 17, born in Egypt and raised in Luxembourg, has a grand plan to become fabulously wealthy by using his basketball skills to finance a business empire. When one of his schemes goes sour, his parents send him to live with his rich uncle in Canada. Adam quickly finds out that his uncle is not what everyone in the family thinks he is. Quickly Adam takes on the opportunity to work with him and lands in some quirky situations that lead him to wrongfully getting deported to Luxor, Egypt on his 18th birthday. It’s here that Adam falls in love and seems to find something deeper in life that will help him grow as an adult.
