Ivan is a priest in a rural church known for the apples that grow on a large tree in front. He's odd: seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, in denial about personal facts, and convinced he's at war with Satan. The rectory is a half-way house for recently paroled convicts. Adam arrives for 12 weeks, a large, tough neo-Nazi, first baffled by Ivan's thick-headed optimism, then angry. He vows to break Ivan's faith. Meanwhile, in exasperation at Ivan's insistence, Adam sets a personal goal: to bake an apple pie. All goes awry for the tree: crows, worms, lightening. The Book of Job gives Adam perverse insight, and his hooligan mates provide the resolution's spring. —priestneo nazichurchrectoryfaith193 morePlot summaryPlot synopsisTaglinesÉn ulykke kommer sjældent alene [Scandinavian saying equivalent of: When it rains, it pours]GenresComedyCrimeDramaMotion Picture Rating (MPAA)Rated R for language and violenceParents guide
