In an unexpected twist of fate, an ordinary man named Jerry Landers comes face to face with divinity. Jerry is a grocery store manager in Los Angeles, caught in the routine and skepticism of everyday life, when one day he receives a peculiar visit: God, embodied in the form of an endearing and charismatic older man, appears before him with the mission to prove that He still has a place in the modern world.
God, played by the great George Burns, intends to make Jerry His spokesman and has a simple yet profound message to share with humanity. As Jerry gets swept up in the divine adventure, he faces the disbelief of his friends, family, and the world itself, which cannot believe that an ordinary man has a direct connection to the sacred. With the absurd humor characteristic of the classics of the '70s, Jerry begins to grapple with his own doubts and the pressure of being the chosen one.
With a touch of comedy and a message filled with faith, the story unfolds as Jerry tries to discover his place and the truth behind existence. The film takes us on a hilarious yet reflective journey about faith, doubt, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems devoid of hope. The relationship between Jerry and God becomes a reminder that sometimes, what we seek the most is closer than we think.
