Book Of Life
On the last day of the century, Jesus shows up at JFK airport with his attractive young assistant, Magdalena. Sent by his father to perform the last judgement, Jesus has second thoughts and calls off the Apocalypse. Meanwhile, Satan goes from bar to bar in search of pure souls. Acclaimed director Hartley presents a techno-driven, computerized and modernistic world for his thrilling story of the fate of man in a race against time.
