Film Synopsis

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...
