Gagne ton ciel
Synopsis
On the cusp of his 50th birthday, Nacer Belkacem dreams of a better life. Yet, over the years, he has built himself an enviable position in the eyes of all: a loving family man, a happy husband, a model employee, and a respected citizen in his community. But the veneer is cracking. Beneath a seemingly perfect surface, Nacer has racked up expenses, made questionable investments, and is up to his neck in debt. On the brink of ruin, he devises a desperate plan to try to pull himself out of the water. You only have one life to earn your way to heaven...
