Jesus is a Palestinian
parodies today's focus on spirituality and everything that comes
with it.
Ramses has been in a religious
agricultural community for eight years. The commune, the
superficial manifestation of which seems to entail many
piercings, receives a visit from the Kahn guru. He promotes
Rames to a 'full priest'.
Then his sister Natasha comes to fetch him after not seeing him
for eight years: their father is in a coma on the point of
death.
Outside the commune for so long,
Ramses falls madly in love with his sister's roommate. he has
his doubts about returning to the commune and also has to decide
on whether or not to help his father die. However the father
turns out to be feigning death because no one takes his fate in
the return of the Messiah as proclaimed by the Palestinian
prophet Rashid, seriously.
