A lighthearted fish-out-of-water comedy about two naive shepherds from an obscure country who discover France is nothing like they expected, built on cultural clash and gentle humor rather than real threat.

Muzafar and Feruz are two easy going shepherds from Taboulistan, a tiny country in Asia that is unknown to the rest of the world. To alert the world to his country’s existence, the son of Taboulistan’s president decides to instigate a program of publicity terrorism. To that end, he recruits our two naive shepherds, their mission: to destroy the Eiffel Tower! But the France that Muzafar and Feruz discover is far from what they had expected...
