Synopsis
A dead monk’s gaze is hypnotizing the masses, becomes a very profitable brand and is about to be sanctified by the Romanian church. Following in Arsenie’s footsteps, we embark on a fictionalized pilgrimage, that leads us – with humour and fantasy - through our present confusion and global fears. No afterlife guaranteed.
