He's cut her body into pieces and has taken them to the Mexican border, but he's lost one of her hands! A blind old village woman stumbles upon the hand, hits her head and miraculously regains her eyesight. Soons thousands are flocking to see the hand of the "Madonna" and miracles are granted to all who ask. But the village priest (David Schwimmer), who is in love with the town hooker (Maria Grazia Cucinotta), senses that the hand's origi is not quite "Virginal". Tex, the Sheriff and the Priest all want something done with the hand, and the unpredictable outcome proves to be both magical and hilarious.

"The pieces" refer to the supposed pieces of your life, which has been "shattered" by some catastrophe. You would use this phrase when you are trying to recover from the grief and get back to functioning normally again, as in "I'm just trying to pick up the pieces and move on."
