Summaries

The spectacular story of main character Stojan is a satire divided into three episodes, in which the long line to God and edible works of art play a role alongside hypocritical halos.

Three stories about the impact of three God's MIRACLES in the medieval sense that happen to the film's heroes living in a post-communist society that, after half a century of atheism, re-learns about Christianity. Today's societies are like the pagan ones of early Christianity when the idols of the previous period, communism, coexisted with the new religion. This vivid milieu, filled with superstition, a fundamental misunderstanding of the Faith and exaggerations, often creates comical and tragic situations in the lives of the six characters whose fates we follow from 1993 through 2001 to 2026.

Stojan is a blameless man, a caring family man and very modest. A short-circuit of the light bulb brings him unexpected enlightenment: a halo suddenly adorns Stojan's head. He becomes an attraction in the neighborhood and turns the tranquil life of his family upside down. Stojan's wife Nada is quickly annoyed by the hustle and bustle. The thing has to go, and as we know, a cap is not a permanent solution. But after a thorough washing of the hair doesn't help either, she condemns her husband to an extensive curriculum in sin. A little gluttony here, a little adultery there. The noble nimbus is not impressed by such trickery. Stojan plows his way through all the deadly sins - and finally takes a liking to cruelty. And not only he. The more heartlessly Stojan exploits his advantage, the more readily he is accepted by the neighbors as a moral authority. It turns out: the beautiful appearance outshines even the worst outrage.
