The Bedouins of Paris (original title: L'Oeil au beur (re) noir ) is a French film comedy by Serge Meynard (* 1956), which in 1987 first in the cinemas came. The script was written by Serge Meynard, Patrick Braoudé and Jean-Paul Lilienfeld . The French title is ambiguous: Œil au beurre noir means blue eye , the term beur is an expression in France for Arabs , especially of Maghrebian origin (see also Maghreb ). He can therefore be understood as "the blue eye of the Maghrebian Arab".

action

Rachid is a young Frenchman of Algerian origin in Paris who does smaller jobs and who regularly uses a clever trick (the “Rachid system”) to seduce attractive girls who have been spied on. With the help of two accomplices, his “borderline dubious buddies” Junior and Georges, who harass the girls penetratively and palpably, he appears as an interfering savior who fends off the delinquents in a feigned fight. One day the trick goes wrong. Virginie, the newest, straight out of a metro station next victims of the trailer combination just manages to defend itself and also comes with his car oncoming Deni, a dark-skinned young painter who is on his way to his studio to help. Both Rachid and Denis are now in love with Virginie, an activist of the SOS Rassisme , but despite an emerging rivalry in love, they focus their joint efforts on an almost hopeless search for an apartment in Paris. Virginie helps them by asking her stepfather, Jean-René Perron, who works in the real estate industry, to help them rent an empty apartment . Denis and Rachid are now confronted with the racism of the owners in general and that of their stepfather in particular and try to get an apartment on all sorts of crooked tours.

When they finally get to live with Virginie, however, the story took an unexpected turn for them.
