Picking Up the Pieces is a
2000 film directed by
Alfonso Arau and starring
Woody Allen.
Story
Allen plays Tex, a
butcher who kills his
unfaithful wife Candy, played by
Sharon Stone. After cutting up the body, Tex buries most of her body parts in the
desert in
New Mexico. A blind woman accidentally trips over Candy's hand, which has not been buried. Picking it up, her sight is restored, and she proclaims the hand to be the "hand of the
Virgin."
The hand then becomes the talk of the village and people flock there to heal themselves. This ranges from a crippled man growing new legs, a teenager being relieved of his acne and a midget having his manhood enlarged. Tex hears of these miracles, and attempts to retrieve the hand without being caught.
