A lawyer becomes a fisherman from frustration. When his one piece of property, his boat, is struck by lightning and destroyed he is denied insurance money because it was “an act of God”. He re-registers as a lawyer and sues the insurance company and, as God’s representative, The Church.

VIBE

This film is a riotous, satirical romp that hilariously skewers religious institutions and insurance companies. It's a feel-good underdog story that will have you roaring with laughter and cheering for the little guy.
