Carl Theodor Dreyer directs Henrik Malberg, Emil Hass Christensen and Cay Kristiansen in this Danish religious drama where a farmer struggles with his faith when his youngest son wants marry outside their religion.

Surprised by how much this held me… I care very little for overtly religious flicks and also chamber pieces. Yet the mise en scéne is strong and loaded, the characters blunt but rich and the drama is engrossing. Not my cup of tea but a truly good example of this form.
