In this modern retelling of the Virgin birth, Marie, a student, works at her father's Swiss gas station and plays basketball for a local team; she claims to be a virgin and maintains a chaste relationship with her boyfriend Joseph, a taxi cab driver and college dropout. When a passing stranger named Uncle Gabriel informs Marie that she will become pregnant despite remaining chaste, she is at first shocked and confused. Gabriel aggressively schools Joseph to accept Marie's pregnancy, while Marie comes to terms with God's plan.
