Young Jesus is taken on a vacation by his parents (Rita Blanco, Adriano Luz) to a deserted beach resort. They accidentally fall into overnight wealth after Jesus digs in the sand, uncovering a large drug stash. Others characters intersecting here include an alcoholic actress, a philandering banker, a general trafficking in arms, priests who close their church and head north as hitchhikers, politicians who watch an all-girl production of Julius Caesar, and beggars who recite a children's story in a huge heap of trash.

Le jeune Jesus est emmené en vacances par ses parents (Rita Blanco, Adriano Luz) dans une station balnéaire déserte. Du jour au lendemain, la richesse leur tombe dans les bras après que Jesus découvre une importante cachette de drogue dans le sable.

Tudo começa quando uma família normal e friorenta é bafejada pela sorte. Jesus, assim se chama o filho do casal, encontra um tesouro escondido e proibido: a riqueza da Terra. No mesmo dia dois padres decidem fechar as portas da sua igreja por falta de crentes e fazem um leilão de imagens dos seus queridos santos. E partem à aventura.
