Little Baby Jesus of Flandr

Running time: 74 mins

Three very different Magi in a Brueghels forest encounter the miraculous and learn ?it isn?t easy being a human being.?

Lost in a forest and laden down with new wealth from Christmas caroling, three drunken beggars stumble upon a couple with a newborn baby, the Baby Jesus perhaps, and experience a spiritual conversion. Over three Christmases, some of them become religiously obsessed; others have their newfound faith sorely tempted by such offerings as ?a Latina devil, a singing transvestite and a black midget musician.? (Hollywood Reporter)

Begun as a student project, shot in radiant widescreen black & white, and with a cast comprised almost entirely of theater actors with Down?s Syndrome, this mesmerizing, visually stunning film, one of the year?s most unusual, is an audacious poetic reinterpretation of the beloved ancient tale, one that is sure to simultaneously challenge and satisfy you.
