Synopsis
A journey into the streets of the « thrice saintly » city and in the meanders of history, through the daily dealings of a tourist agency in Jerusalem serviced by a sample group of guides, «specialists» of God and his three religions. They make three times the same circuit. And tell three different stories. Or more precisely, three versions of the same story... A divine comedy of stories and inter-religious quarrels with, as a backdrop, the Middle Eastern conflict and world politics.

Under a falsely anecdotal exterior, this very personal film (...) tackles essential questions (...) Favouring a tone that is both light and poetic, it resonates, above all, as a call to fraternal cohabitation.
