Jesus and Buddha are broke roommates in Tokyo, figuring out how to pay rent and buy groceries like everyone else. The comedy works because it treats them as actual people first, saints second, cracking jokes about convenience stores and summer vacation that land just as hard as the ones about divine purpose. You watch two immortal beings discover that the mundane stuff, laundry, bad customer service, fitting in, is where the real miracle is.

Jesus and Buddha are roommates in a small Tokyo apartment, having decided that thousands of years of hard work earned them a vacation on Earth. They try to live incognito, which proves difficult when each so obviously radiates the religion he founded. Along the way they puzzle over modern Japanese society and enjoy its comforts, from amusement parks to limited-time store sales. They also mark each other's holidays, watch the seasons change and get to know their new neighborhood. The film is a supernatural slice-of-life comedy adapted from Nakamura Hikaru's manga, finding its laughs in two legendary religious figures living an ordinary daily routine.
