Synopsis
Meet the HOLY MOTHERS: prudish penny-pinching Erna, rapacious, man hungry Grete and sublime bare-handed rescuer of clogged toilets Mariedl. In an attempt to purge their little of petty wrongs, three aging cleaning ladies conjure up a frenzied fantasy of divine proposals, sordid sexual fantasies, toilets clogged with treasures, and glitter dusted sainthood.
