In the rhythm of the traditional Stations of the Cross devotion, which traces Jesus’ path from condemnation to crucifixion in 14 stages, the film tells the story of a girl brought up as a strict Catholic who decides to follow the path of holiness. In 14 fixed shots,“Way of the Cross” will trace Mary’s path, examining the mechanisms of a family in which religion has become absolute.

Producer is Jochen Laube, producer Leif Alexis, editor at SWR Stefanie Groß, at ARTE Barbara Häbe.
