Honestly, if our Lord “hates” anything it’s the fact I wasn’t allowed to finish.”
2012. Borja, Spain. Cecilia, a local parishioner and amateur artist, is about to change history. With the best intentions, her careful “restoration” of a beloved church fresco causes her to become an overnight internet sensation.
With the outrage from the church and the ridicule from the world, how far is Cecilia willing to go in order to protect her masterpiece?
A surreal black comedy about faith, self-expression and the viral sensation that is and will always be… the monkey Jesus.
