Sobre o filme

Jesus is a long-term employee of the Ministry of Finance who has a heart attack and is hospitalized. After his recovery, he returns to work and finds that his co-workers have taken possession of his belongings since everyone in the workplace had assumed he was dead. Feeling absolutely distraught, the man goes back home sure that he will find some comfort there. But when he gets home he meets his wife at the door, her bags packed, saying she was ready to leave him. The woman had felt much better as a widow and that’s why now she was leaving home. When nothing could get worse, poor Jesus is visited by a hospital employee, who tells him his medical insurance had not been enough to cover for his hospital treatment. Feeling desperate, Jesus decides to take advantage of a cancer misdiagnosis wrongly printed on his medical form. He forwards the papers to the insurance company and, after checking his exams, the doctors send him to a ward for terminal patients. It is there surrounded by people without any hope for the future that Jesus will learn and teach some very important values.
