The three sons of devout Danish farmer Morten have widely disparate religious beliefs. Youngest son Anders shares his father's religion, but eldest son Mikkel has lost his faith, while middle child Johannes has become delusional and proclaims that he is Jesus Christ himself. When Mikkel's wife, Inger goes into a difficult childbirth, everyone's beliefs are put to the test.

Powerful, beautiful meditation on faith. I found this to be affecting, even as I myself do not grapple with questions of faith or integrate religion in my life. The magic in the movie came as a surprise but also felt inevitable. I loved the harsh tenderness in the fathers’ conversations, full of shorthand—a lifetime of argument where all that can be said has already been said. Between this and Joan of Arc, Dreyer comes closer than anybody else I’ve seen in finding God on screen.
