Plot
Taboulistan is a tiny fictional country, supposedly wedged between Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, virtually unknown to the world. Its only asset is a reputation for inventing tabbouleh. Alas, the Lebanese have stolen the recipe for their country. So two half-brother taboulistani shepherds are sent to France by their president to promote their country. Their method: "terrorist advertising." They seek to destroy the Eiffel Tower using a plane. Following a strike at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport, they land in Corsica. They meet with Corsican nationalists and board a boat for Marseille. Unfortunately, one of them is the victim of an attack because he was wearing a PSG shirt, followed by a medical error. A journalist helps them to go to Paris.
