Marie, a thirty-something overweight single, is about to marry her boring boyfriend Sven, whose biological clock is ticking louder than hers. But at the crucial moment at the altar she realises she has made a terrible mistake and jilts him in the most humiliating way possible. After this she doesn’t think her life can get any worse, so when a fit carpenter turns up to repair her father’s attic she has nothing to lose by asking him out on a date. The carpenter is of course Jesus, in his modern-day interpretation as a liberal hippie, and Marie falls for him head over heels. Even his barmy assertions that he is the Risen Lord aren’t enough to put her off.
