Summary
Dissatisfied with the way things are going on Earth, God decides it is
high time He sent a message to humankind. God likes to move with
the times, so this time He chooses to speak to man through the medium
of cinema. With that in mind, He scours the planet Earth for a
suitable filmmaker. Finally, in Paris, God finds a suitable
candidate for the job, an aspiring young film director named
Jeanne. Alas, she has no money to realise the project, so she has
no option but to ask the Devil to help her out...
