SYNOPSIS
Jan, recently released from prison after serving time for the murder of a child, has always maintained his innocence and is ready to put the past behind him. A gifted organist, he takes a job at an Oslo church under his middle name, Thomas. His talent and gentle manner quickly earn him the respect of his superiors, as well as the love of the pastor, Anna. Thomas even overcomes his initial panic to return the affection of Anna's young son, Jens. But his past catches up with him when Agnes, a local teacher, comes to the church on a school visit and recognizes the organist as Jan, the young man who was convicted for the murder of her son.
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
This is an extremely powerful story, which involves key roles that could only be performed by actors who possess an exceptionally high degree of personal courage. Actors who dare to bare their souls on a psychological level, while their physical appearance evokes feelings a typical viewer might associate with a sunny day. And yet the actors were also able to portray one of life’s greatest tragedies in a credible manner. The opportunity to work with such gifted and brave actors was a rare experience. [Source]
