A village amateur production of The Passion of the Christ degenerates into a blasphemous rave and brings together three characters who could hardly be more different: Director Roberto, who has been canceled from the Berlin off-theater scene, the young butcher Mia, who suddenly becomes the guardian of her sister with Down syndrome, and Father Oskar Iversen, who has turned his back on his Danish island parish for mysterious reasons. As his new parish in the Swabian village of Winteringen is about to be dissolved and Oskar cannot return to Denmark under any circumstances, he tries to convince the theater-loving archbishop to keep the parish alive by putting on a spectacular passion play.
