According to the synopsis, the movie, which was inspired by vintage Hollywood epics set in Biblical periods, follows the story of Clarence, a down-on-his-luck Jerusalemite who makes an idiotic attempt to profit off the Messiah’s rising fame and power for his own gain. He embarks on a journey that takes him on an investigation into the concept of faith and down a quite unanticipated road of his own.
