Synopsis
Pamela is shy and leads an insipid and anonymous life working as a supermarket cashier.
As a religious devout her only solace is her regular attendance to Church. A growing and gradual desire to have a child takes over Pamela's life. Suddenly miracles start to occur. and messages of a marvelous destiny start to reach Pamela in unusual ways: encounters with a mysterious customer, the friendship of a glamorous protective motherly transvestite, her disconcerting dreams, even in the barcodes of the products she has spent her life scanning.
The 'Savior of the Next Millennium' is apparently on his way and everything indicates that Pamela, a virgin, is carrying said savior.Confused Pamela undertakes an inner voyage, attempting to reconcile the desire of conception with her religious notions.
A paradoxical voyage the more mystic she grows, the more human she becomes
