While the gods indulge in omnipotence and the sexual licence afforded by man’s imagination, on earth two star-crossed lovers, an oriental prince and an Irish shop girl, attempt to consummate their love in the face of social and cultural taboos. Displeased, the Gods enlist Arch, a vengeful Irishman whose mission in life is to blow up all the bridges that link the two warring communities of his native land and who becomes the pair’s unwitting nemesis. A light-hearted and lyrical romp through the elysian fields of the gods and the greener fields of Ireland.
