ZWISCHEN UNS GOTT
Österreich 2024 – Director: Rebecca Hirneise – German original version with English subtitles – Length: 90 min.
Rebecca Hirneise goes back to her deeply protestant family. Until now, her relatives have always prayed but never talked about it. Now a conversation is opened up. Without bias or judgement, the director explores the family members’ beliefs. The spectrum is wide: there are the faithful and god-fearing, those who pray for miracles and those who don’t believe. The rifts between them are deep. Ysabel Fantou
