In an upper-class England marked by hypocrisy and power, an eccentric nobleman reclaims his place in the aristocracy following his father's death. However, the new count, Jack, is a peculiar character: he believes he is the incarnation of Christ himself. His arrival in the high society shakes conventions and upends the values of a family obsessed with appearances. As Jack begins to challenge the system around him, his liberal ideas and madness lead to an open conflict with his family and other members of the nobility, who see him as a threat to their status and way of life.
His extravagances and delightfully absurd philosophical musings provoke both laughter and terror. While he attempts to navigate between madness and reason, Jack also faces a family council that will scheme to "get rid of" him and claim the title's inheritance. The film is a surreal journey through a world of aristocratic madness, where each character reflects the irrationality of power. As the conflict between tradition and change intensifies, Jack becomes a radical symbol in his struggle for truth. With unmistakable dark humor and a biting critique of the ruling class, this story is a satire on the inherent madness of power and the absurdities of British society.
