A group of disparate individuals living in New York City are called together by a mysterious figure named John the Baptist. He encourages them to leave behind their daily lives and follow Jesus, who later appears dressed as a clown. They form a close-knit community, reenacting various parables and teachings of Jesus, drawn from the Gospel of Matthew. Through song and dance, they explore themes of love, compassion, and devotion, creating colorful and joyous interpretations of biblical lessons in the urban landscape of the city.

As the group grows closer, they face challenges that test their faith and unity. They experience moments of doubt and fear, but their bond remains strong as they continue to learn from Jesus. The playful and whimsical tone shifts as they confront more serious themes, including betrayal and sacrifice. The story builds towards a poignant climax, exploring the depth of their spiritual journey and their commitment to the values Jesus has imparted to them. The group's journey ultimately serves as a profound meditation on community and belief.
