In God We Tru$t

In a world where the solemn walls of a centuries‑old monastery clash with the neon glare of Hollywood, Brother Ambrose receives a simple yet urgent charge from the abbot: raise enough money to keep their sacred refuge open. Tasked with gathering $5,000, the well‑meaning monk steps far beyond the cloister’s quiet garden and into a city that trades faith for fame, promises for profit, and sincerity for spectacle. The film’s tone balances gentle satire with slap‑stick warmth, inviting the audience to laugh at the absurdity of a humble pilgrim navigating a glittering, fast‑paced landscape.

Soon, Brother Ambrose encounters a parade of eccentric personalities who embody the city’s restless, larger‑than‑life spirit. A charismatic, fast‑talking doctor who offers charitable assistance, a fragile yet resilient woman searching for connection, and a flamboyant preacher who turns sermons into showmanship all swirl around the monk’s earnest quest. Their interactions are less about confrontation and more about the comedic friction that arises when pure intention meets the market‑driven hustle of modern religion.

The film thrives on the contrast between the monk’s naïve, earnest devotion and the dazzling, often superficial allure of Hollywood’s promise of quick salvation through cash. Through witty dialogue and visual comedy, the story paints a portrait of a place where spiritual yearning is packaged like a product, and where a simple act of faith can become an unexpected adventure. In this off‑beat satire, the audience is invited to wonder how far Brother Ambrose will go— and what he might discover— as he strives to protect the quiet sanctuary he calls home.
