How far would you go to become a saint? Dietrich Brüggemann offers his own disarming, yet intentionally ambiguous answer in a film that won the Ecumenical Jury Prize and the Silver Berlin Bear for Best Script at the Berlin Film Festival.

14-year-old Maria wants to prove her devotion to Jesus, become a saint and go to heaven. In order to achieve her goal, she's determined to go through 14 stations, just like Jesus did on his path to Golgotha. Brüggemann directs these steps through 14 masterful fixed-angle long shots, 14 hand-grenades that could explode any minute inside your head. Does he vindicate Maria's choicesor does he criticize religious fundamentalism? The answer is yours. T.Th.
