Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
The differences between saint and sinner are subtly blurred in this irreverent look at human nature. The film was shot in the Sicilian countryside and within the Fiumara d'Arte artist colony. Mario is a common man who wanders the countryside. On his way he meets Jesus Christ who confides that he never did get to heaven and is now hiding out from fearsome angels. While Christ still helps humanity with the occasional miracle, he makes his living by predicting the weather. Later Mario enters a strange maze of sculpture. The other wanderers within the maze are playing the game of Saints and Sinners.
