The film “The Story of Ginot” (Chez Gino) by Samuel Benshetri is a comedy story about how a simple owner of a most ordinary pizza restaurant decided to become a mafia. Or at least make a documentary about it.
It's all about Ginot. Jose Garcia For the last thirty years of his life, living peacefully in Brussels, he gained nothing but a modest pizzeria. What can not be said about his Italian uncle, the godfather of the mafia, who became insanely rich from his criminal activities. Now Uncle is about to leave this world and is ready to bequeath his millions to his nephew, but first he must make sure that Ginot is the respected Don of all Parisian pizzerias.
In order to prove to his uncle that this is so, Gino hires a director and begins to shoot a documentary about himself, in which he appears as a very ruthless mafia boss. The idea, however, from the very beginning is not glued - the Gino family does not like these shootings, the film crew puts forward one condition more impossible than another, and then there is a real Mafioso, who took Ginot for his newcomer competitor. close
