Description
When the Pope visits Sevilla, a simple priest named don Cristóbal is tasked with transporting a large quantity of consecrated host left over from a church service. As he navigates the city, he encounters an array of eccentric characters, including a teólogo progre who has had too much to drink and some navajeros who try to rob him.
As don Cristóbal's journey becomes increasingly chaotic, he is eventually taken in by a prostitute who shows him kindness. Just when all hope seems lost, an unexpected intervention allows him to escape his predicament and return the sacred items to their rightful owner.
This humorous satire explores themes of human nature and societal institutions with warmth and nuance, offering a thought-provoking commentary on the world around us.
