Import-Export (2005)

Jan loves Jasmin, but she has been promised to a Pakistani man who will shortly arrive in Norway to marry her. Under cover of writing a thesis on immigrant stores, Jan gets a job at the store of Allahditta and Yousaf, Jasmin's father and brother-in-law. Yousaf helps Jan become a Muslim so he can have Jasmin, and Jan helps Yousaf prepare for his taxi-driver's test. Jan simultaneously, tries to work on Allahditta's attitude towards mixed marriages, which Allahditta profoundly opposes. This is an unusually warm-hearted and generous comedy which investigates Pakistani-Norwegian cultural differences, and problems related to them, with humour.
