Set on the small island of Porto Buio, the traditional live Christmas Nativity scene might not go ahead because the baby whoās always played Jesus has grown up and no new babies have been born on the island in years! With this fundamental tradition on the line, newly elected Mayor Cecco (Claudio Bisio) wants to ask the local Tunisian community to āborrowā one of their children, but thereās conflict between the two communities. Cecco enlists the help of local Islam convert Bilal (Alessandro Gassman) to cross the cultural divideā¦ but both communities are not sure what to make of a baby Jesus that may need his nationality, and even his religion changed!
