Sünopsis

50-year-old Romanian Georg Vinogradov is a priest in Võru Pentecostal Church. He reached religion through rough personal experiences, including being a prisoner in Patarei Prison, being sick with cancer and fighting this. Georg is a father of eight children. His home is his church - half of his house, an old wooden building, serves as a church. Georg attempts to bring Romanians closer to Christianity in order to purify their souls and improve their reputation among the local people. The documentary juxtaposes Romanian traditional lifestyle and Christian world view declared by Georg as well as contemplates on the dilemma of staying true to oneself versus changing oneself.
