Death of a Hero
2024, Swedish. Directed by Karin Franz Körlof.
To attract new members to the church, a bizarre event is organized where a young man is to fall from the church tower. The young man already has a large group of followers, and in the region, no one wants to miss this fascinating event. The film is based on Pär Lagerkvist's 100-year-old novella, which has never felt more relevant than today.
