Film Synopsis
Nine fanciful stories are woven together into a strange, dreamlike fantasy
which adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts. A valuable
jewel is stolen from a living painting; a mirror acquires the power
to steal whatever is reflected in it; a young man's future is laid out before
him on an internet site; a seminary student dresses up as a priest so that
he can listen to confessions; a group of blind children try to open the eyes
of non-believers to Christianity; a Catholic man discovers that he is really
a Jew; a convent is converted into a brothel so that it can pay its way;
brothers get into a fight as they search for some rings; and a treasure hunt
leads to a surprising outcome...
