In a small town in southern Italy, suspended in time and space, four strangers arrive for a desperate ransom from their sad lives. Dante, Gianni Agostino and Diego are four fools with the intention to steal the Saint statue of the town. But in a community where religion and ferocious superstition live in a precarious balance, reactions can be unpredictable, and very violent. It is too late when the four realize that they have made the biggest mistake of their lives.
