HOLY MEAT

A rural amateur production of the Passion of Christ spirals into a blasphemous rave, bringing to­gether three wildly different characters: Director Roberto, recently canceled from Berlin’s off-theatre scene; Mia, a young butcher who suddenly finds herself the legal guardian of her sister with Down syndrome; and Father Oskar Iversen, who has mysteriously abandoned his Danish island parish. Now stationed in the small Swabian village of Winteringen – where the local parish faces imminent closure – Oskar must act fast. Determined never to return to Denmark, he tries to save the parish by staging an unforgettable Passion play to impress the theatre-loving archbishop.

An absurd triptych about loneliness, responsibility, and the Catholic Church.
