Synopsis

A plane lands in the border region between Bolivia and Argentina carrying Pedro, a young man dressed as a priest. His luggage is apparently stuffed with bibles, but in these parts, where abject poverty runs rampant, people crave a different kind of salvation. To make a living, the villagers produce pottery engraved using the bones of dead ancestors. The villagers see the arrival of a priest as a chance to change their destiny.

The hopes of both camps now lie with Pedro, who is deemed the most qualified judge.
