A group of priests receive a mysterious letter from the Vatican. In this letter, they are invited to leave Sucumbios as soon as possible. Sucumbios is a province of Ecuadorian Rainforest, which is immensely rich in petroleum. The Pope appoints the Order of the Gospel Heralds, heirs to the movement “Tradition, Family and Property” and in view of these facts, Monsignor Gonzalo Lopez decides to start an indefinite hunger strike, camping in a park in Quito.
