A Bird from Paradise plot

Charming 50-year-old Italian antique dealer Amadeus falls in love with Betty, a beautiful young Tunisian woman. Their relationship begins unexpectedly when Amadeus saves her life. As their love grows, the couple encounters a series of cultural and social obstacles. Betty's family sees Amadeus as a potential wealthy son-in-law, while the local imam demands that he convert to Islam and be circumcised. Amadeus, who is attached to his Italian identity and personal beliefs, must make a difficult choice: conform to the expectations of Betty's community or hold on to his own values at the risk of losing her.
