On the streets of Riga, Eriks and Daniels preach the Gospel and their version of a modern Christian lifestyle. Although friends, they hold opposing views of life – one is an extreme materialist and the often an extreme idealist. The film is at once a grotesque and real story about people who try to combine religious Fanatism with worldly desires and the demands of daily survival.
