    Synopsis:

    Jerusalem. Moshe and Mali, a childless Orthodox couple, find themselves penniless on the eve of the Jewish holy day of Succoth.

    As they both pray desperately to the Lord to help them, their prayers are heard and they receive an unexpected charitable donation. However, a miracle doesn’t come without a test, as two escaped convicts appear uninvited on the couple’s doorstep, friends from Moshe’s shady secular past. Moshe and Mali believe it is another guests for the holy day .

    They perceive the convicts as messengers, but God works in mysterious ways. The outrageous behavior of these unholy messengers and the havoc it brings to the Orthodox community will put Moshe and Mali’s faith to the ultimate test.
