But that’s not his only problem. Though his beautifulwife Julia fulfills her marital duties, there is no passion between them. Whenthe bishop prays for help, it comes in the form of Michael, a handsome, golden-hairedangel who takes the position of archdeacon.

However, Michael’s limitless capacityfor love is stifled by his mortal duties of manipulating money from wealthyreligious patrons.
