A small and harmless looking priest, father Ángel
Berriartúa, Professor of Theology at Deusto University, has been studying the “Apocalypse of Saint John” for over 25 years with the aim of deciphering the hidden message in that Holy Text. He finally reaches the conclusion that the Antichrist will be born in Madrid, the 25th of December 1995, before dawn.
The problem is that he doesn’t know the exact spot of this delivery.
Distressed over the lack of time left and prepared to get in touch with the followers of the Evil One before it is too late, he decides to arm himself to the teeth and launch an improvised criminal career in the Spanish capital.
A young heavy metal fan, José María, helps him to get in touch with Professor Cavan, a character that is a mixture between medium, fortune-teller and mystic. The three will join together to form an improbable team with a common goal: capturing the Antichrist.
