Plot

Matacanes arrives at Heaven but it is not exactly as he imagined it, as it resembles a typical Spanish village with God as the mayor and Saint Peter as a civil guard (although Saint Peter explains that this is Spanish Heaven and other countries' heavens are different). Some people, however, are nervous because God, unhappy with things on Earth, is planning to have another child. Jesus becomes jealous and tries to convince his father to accelerate the Apocalypse instead.
