The eclectic men and women of Our Lady of Mercy retirement home have their daily routine turned upside down when their nurse goes on a month-long holiday, leaving her son in charge. Her son, whom the residents call “The Witch,” promptly takes away the TV, their only diversion, leaving them only with the radio for contact with the outside world. All this just after they have just learned that the Catholic Church has cloned Jesus. The story unfolds in five parts. Subtitles in English
