Overview
Dietrich Brüggemann won a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for his formally bold drama about a teenage girl who defies her Catholic parents and embarks on her own uniquely stringent campaign of religious fervour. Structured as fourteen separate scenes to mirror the Biblical tableaux of Catholic tradition, Brüggemann’s film is also a funny, frightening and ultimately moving meditation on the limits of faith.
