Plot
On Christmas Eve, Sam and his friend Khaled are disguised as Santas in the Galeries Lafayette, hoping to steal everything that falls into their laps. Unfortunately, Sam is stuck with children aged between 6 and 10 years and they ask him to tell them a story. Initially, he refuses but when the floor manager insists, he tells the story of Aladdin with his own spins and twists. The main characters of the story are a representation of people in his real life. His desire to be a rapper, traveler and rich is incorporated with the children's fantasy requests in the story. In the end, he decides not to steal and, like Aladdin, he owns who he is with his girlfriend, confessing that he is not a financier or someone who does philanthropic work. but a simple poor person who loves her dearly.
