A theatre group is performing a play: "Two travelling angels". An old ange and a young angel travel to earth. The older angel suggests going to a cafe, where the young angel finds a ringing mobile phone left on a table. The owner of the phone, a rich landlady comes back and insists that the angels stay at her house for the night. Once there, her husband treats them shabbily, putting them in a tiny room, not offering them dinner. The old angel finds gold bricks buried in the old wall, and he conceals them. The next day, a poor farmer offers the angels to stay at his place, and treats them with great generosity.That night, death (the devil) appears to demand the life of the farmer's wife. The old angel persuades the devil to take the life of the farmer's cattle instead ... The play ends here but the director seems in deep thought and a vision comes to his mind : the young hot-headed angel is on his own and wanders in the streets. He ends in a bar where he meets a young delinquint and his sister who picks him up and has sex with him. The next morning, the devil meets the sister and young angel. Things turn our badly: robbery, cocaine overdose and a ghost...
