When a Roman ecclesiastical delegate visits a tiny Catalan village during the holidays, the locals organize a conference on religion and sex. The idea divides the community into supporters and opponents, leading to heated debates. After negotiations a compromise is reached, and the colorful villagers outwit the church’s conservatism, ending happily.
