What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

In 1998, a small South American village is in a flurry over the Pope's upcoming visit for the business opportunities that it will provide. While most of the residents plan to sell food at the parade, a smuggler family man decides to build a pay toilet.
