17th century. Theatre. A drama is being played out in front of the public. The bottom line is that during the Time of Troubles and Hunger, an elderly woman gives birth to a wonderful child, although many expect the birth of the monster. A newborn boy is so good that he is declared a holy, wonderful child. Passions flare up around him. Both the church and the family use it to achieve their goals. And gradually the boundaries between the performance and reality are erased.
