A strange, beautiful film. We watch mother and son as they go about their peculiar daily routine, and we see a dead child in the ocean. It's unnerving and, somehow, everything seems eerily sexual, too. Then we are invited to go underwater where we get a closer look at the strange story science and earth have to tell. There are only mothers and sons in this coastal town. There is routine and control - but who is in control and what happens if someone starts to ask que find out more...

Critically acclaimed movie with Jesus as the leader of a cast doing a radical humanist rehash of The Passion Play. With lots of comic touches, and particular attention paid to the hypocrisy of the modern church, this is a superb modern day parable. What really makes the film, though, is its ability to surprise, especially in the way that a wide variety of polemic issues are introduced into a classy, clever, thoroughly entertaining format. Even if you're normally scared off by things theological, find out more...
