Paradise: Faith

Directed by Ulrich Seidl

Produced by Ulrich Seidl Filmproduktion, Tatfilm

A harrowing domestic drama that uses religious faith and marital conflict to explore trauma, power, and the collision between spiritual devotion and bodily vulnerability.

For Anna Maria, paradise lies with Jesus, and she devotes her time to door-to-door missionary work. One day after years of absence, her husband, an Egyptian Muslim confined to a wheelchair, comes home—and soon prayers are replaced by fighting.
