It's funny 'till we get to your god...
Set during Christmas, the film tells the comedic story of what happens when Martin Garcia (Carlos Leon) reveals to his devoutly religious parents that he doesn't believe in God.
After a heated argument, Martin tells his parents, (Tony Perez and Irene Olga Lopez) that not only is he an atheist, but he's proud of it. In addition, he plans to tell the entire family at the upcoming Christmas party. His infuriated father disowns him on the spot.
His mother turns to her fanatically religious sister, Patricia (Karmin Murcello) for help. Unfortunately for Martin, Patricia concludes that he's been possessed by the "Prince of Darkness Himself!" She vows to save Martin, even if she has to kill him! Over the next few days, his distraught parents try everything to restore their son's faith, including a disastrous meeting with the family priest. All to no avail. Meanwhile, Patricia goes about turning the rest of the family against Martin.
When Martin shows up at the Christmas party, the family goes into hysterics. But not Patricia, she's been preparing for this night her whole life. With a deviously comical plan of action and a snubnose .38 she prepares to do battle with the devil. "It's all very simple,' she says "Tonight, Martin will repent or die."
The film also features a running commentary by various Gods and prophets: including Abraham, Jesus, Zeus, Buddah, Mohammed and Lord Krishna.
