Overview
The story revolves around a Basque Roman Catholic priest dedicated to committing as many sins as possible, a death metal salesman from Carabanchel, and the Italian host of a TV show on the occult. These go on a literal “trip” through Christmas-time Madrid to hunt for and prevent the reincarnation of the Antichrist.

Viewing Notes
A fun religious or sacrilegious, I suppose, romp thru Madrid on Christmas Eve as a wayward priest attempts to resurrect the Devil along with a metalhead and unscrupulous talkshow host. Engaging yet very silly most of the time but certainly a de la Iglesia flick!
