I Am Jesus plot

Should we continue to wait for the Messiah, or has he long since returned to earth? There are at least three people who are convinced that they are Jesus. In Siberia, a peasant faith community has sprung up around the charismatic but introverted Vissarion, who wants to teach his followers how to survive in a bleak future. A well-known appearance in Brazil is INRI Cristo, who often appears on television and has many female followers. The third Jesus is Briton David Shayler, a former secret agent who is part of a group of squatters fighting capitalism. Shayler says it's quite strange for him to realize that he is Christ, too. Valerie Gudenus and Heloisa Sartorato portray the three self-proclaimed messiahs with some irony, but also raise questions about (the need for) leadership and the desire to belong to a community.
