The Jesus Sketch is the story of an unusual friendship that develops between Pooja Savani and Jesus. Following an arranged marriage, Pooja travels from her home in New Delhi to the United States to be with a husband she barely knows. Shortly after her arrival, her hopes for the future evaporate into thin air when she discovers that her husband is emotionally and physically abusive and not at all the person she’d imagined him to be. After one particularly violent episode, Pooja moves into an apartment of her own and a divorce soon follows.
It is during this difficult time, a few weeks before Christmas that Pooja happens upon a poster of Jesus in a nearby mall. Jesus looks so pensive that the lonely Pooja promptly asks him to come home with her. What happens next is nothing short of amazing as the owner of the store, who had noticed Pooja admiring the poster, promptly offers it to her because a pensive Jesus is not in keeping with the holiday season. Pooja reluctantly accepts the poster, brings it home and tacks it to her living room wall. With that one simple act, she banishes the emptiness from her apartment and sets off on a journey that will transform her life.
