Stations of the Cross Page #5

Synopsis: Maria is 14 years old. Her family is part of a fundamentalist Catholic community. Maria lives her everyday life in the modern world, yet her heart belongs to Jesus. She wants to follow him, to become a saint and go to heaven - just like all those holy children she's always been told about. So Maria goes through 14 stations, just like Jesus did on his path to Golgatha, and reaches her goal in the end. Not even Christian, a boy she meets at school, can stop her, even if in another world, they might have become friends, or even more. Left behind is a broken family that finds comfort in faith, and the question if all these events were really so inevitable. STATIONS OF THE CROSS is an indictment and, at the same time, the legend of a saint. It's a story of religion, devotion and radical faith, and the film itself comes along just as radical as the subject matter, telling the story in only 14 fixed-angle long shots, allowing the viewer to contemplate the interactions on screen in an entirely

But wanting to look good is not a sin.

Look at this shot of you and Johannes.

You're smiling happily.

But you're not vain.

It's sweet of you to say that.

But I'm afraid it's not true.

My thoughts often turn

to my appearance and clothes.

A little bit is normal.

You are young, I'm young,

one thinks of these things.

Or you become a...

religieuse what's-it-called.

- Nun.

Right, nun.

A beautiful thing, doubtless.

Do you want to be a nun?

I simply don't want

to deal in superficial matters.

Maybe you think

I'm really sweet and nice,

but I only think about myself

and how to impress people.

It's so dumb.

I'm so dumb.

You have to put your jacket on,

you're cold.

I'm warm.

Bernadette!

- Coming.

JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME

Are you doing quadratic functions, too?

You understand it?

- Most of it.

Look at this.

Can the two here be cancelled out?

No, that only works in multiplication.

Not in addition.

Yes, but 2 times X is multiplication.

Show me.

Here.

If there were another 2 here,

you could cancel out.

Like this you can't.

Do you have Mrs Maeen, too?

No, we have Isenmann.

We had him last year.

He failed two of us.

Could you be quiet?

- Sorry.

We have to whisper.

We don't need to talk at all.

Isn't that a mistake?

Where?

- There. Division by zero.

What kind of sum is that?

This problem here:

"A choir has 80 members,

20 for each register.

The female singers weigh on average

60 and the male ones on average 80 kg.

For a balanced sound

the distribution must be:

30 percent bass, 27 percent tenor,

24 percent alto and 19 percent soprano.

The stage they perform on

can carry 4500 kg.

How many singers of each register

may the choir master employ?"

"Mathematics in Daily Life".

All right, then imagine...

the stage can bear a maximum of 500 kg,

the female singers weigh on average 120,

the male ones 160,

Quiet!

Our choir leader never did such maths.

Do you sing in a choir?

At the church.

What music do you sing there?

- All sorts. Soul and gospel.

And Bach, too.

And what do you like better?

I prefer Bach.

Do you like it for the beautiful music

or for the content?

Both.

What kind of music do you listen to?

I'm not good with music.

Electro, or charts or hip-hop?

I don't like hip-hop, either,

but sometimes I like rock.

But...

Can you like both rock and Bach chorales?

Why not?

Well, er...

Rock music

often has satanic influences.

Like backwards-messages?

That, too.

But the whole music

is based on demonic rhythms.

Really?

Too much!

A rock band

played at one of our services.

I didn't like it much.

Which is your parish church?

- St. Athanasius.

You wouldn't know it.
