Director Tiago Guedes’ ambitious, epic and suitably enigmatic adaptation of the Jesus trilogy of novels by South African Nobel laureate J.M. Coetzee stays true to its source material’s humanist hopes, despairs and probing of the eternal philosophical questions that keep families and societies eternally and anxiously moving onward. 

In a land where everyone arrives from somewhere else with no memory of before, new names, a new language and no idea of what to expect from a place where a seemingly benevolent bureaucracy quietly enforces conformity – Simón (Manolo Solo) arrives with a young boy, David (Álex Peláez) who is not his son, but who has lost his mother during the journey.  Simón and David know nothing of each other or the child’s mother, but when he sees a woman named Inés (Patricia López Arnaiz), Simón becomes convinced that she is the child’s mother and convinces Inés to take on the role. As this makeshift non-biological family begin to navigate their situation and the perplexing pitfalls of the strange world they find themselves in – the enigmatic David proves himself to be wise beyond his years, stubborn in his will to live in his own world rather than the real one; and blessed with an innocence that attracts a strange assortment of devotees.
