Le tout noveau testament (The Brand New Testament)
Synopsis
Sure enough: God exists. He lives in Brussels with his wife and daughter, but don’t go imagining a kind-hearted god, but an unbelievable moron who spends his days sitting in front of a computer. His daughter rises up against him when he decides to text all humans the date of their death. The director of Mr. Nobody returns to Sitges with a satire where God is in the bull’s-eye.
