História
Popeck (born Judka Herpstu; 18 May 1936) is a French actor and stand-up comedian.
The son of Jewish immigrants from Poland and Romania, Judka Herpstu was born in Paris. He was among the children saved from the Holocaust by the OSE, but his mother was murdered in Auschwitz. He studied acting at the Cours Simon and started his career on stage under the name Jean Herbert.
In 1968, Herpstu created the character of Popeck, a grumpy Eastern-European immigrant dressed in a 3-piece suit, wearing a bowler hat and speaking French with a strong Yiddish accent. Sketches featuring Popeck made Herpstu known to the larger public, and the actor identified with his character so far as to finally adopt the name Popeck for himself in 1978.
In addition to his work on stage, Popeck has acted in movies. He had a small role in Roman Polanski's The Pianist.

Lucien
Yvan sente-se perseguido por um crescente antissemitismo, e ele costumava ouvir que ele exagera, que ele é paranoico. Durante as sessões com o seu terapeuta, Yvan, então, fala sobre o que o preocupa: a sua identidade, sobre ser francês e judeu hoje. Mas esses encontros são também, e sobretudo, uma espécie de fio vermelho que liga uma série de histórias curtas que tentam desconstruir, de modo tragicômico, os maiores clichês antissemitas que perduram na sociedade.

Ernest
Simon, 35, has returned to live temporarily with his father. They make life unbearable for each other. To add spice to this situation, Uncle Maurice and Aunt Mala, Ernest's brother and sister, meddle in everything and, notably, try to find a "nice little Jewish girl" for Simon to marry. When Ernest passes away, Simon fulfils his father's last request: bury him in the village where he was born, in the depths of Ukraine. And so Simon finds himself caught up in an event-packed road movie in the company of his paranoid old uncle, his aunt who nags him endlessly about his "Goy dancer", his six-years-old son, his father's body and his ghost, and also a rabbit. Not to mention his ex who hassles him by phone. The journey will be nothing like a cruise down the Nile!
