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 a theatre-loving archbishop.An absurd triptych about loneliness, responsibility, and the Catholic Church.
