Film Overwiew

Antimoz (40) is a propagandist of a religious cult. His job is to interpret the clues from the cult’s silent Holy Father and broadcast them through his internet channel for the parish, who spend days and nights below the Holy Father’s balcony. One day the idyllic worshipping of the parish is disturbed by the Holy Father’s unusual appeal – to leave and go to their homes. Antimoz’s interpretation makes the parish come back, but what happens after causes a critical flaw in Antimoz’s own mind, as he realizes he involuntarily created a falsehood, which was purposefully fed by a man, who is building the church for the cult.
