Director: Carl Theodor Dreyer Cast: Henrik Malberg, Emil Hass Christensen, Preben Lerdorff Rye, Cay Christiansen, Birgitte Federspiel, Ejner Federspiel, Hanne Agesen, Kirsten Andreasen Production: Palladium Film - Country: Denmark, Year: 1954, Synopsis: a young theology student, through overwork, loses his grip on sanity, becoming convinced he is Christ. Now home, he lives with his father, brother Anders, and other brother Mikkel, who is married to Inger. Anders loves the tailor's daughter, Anne, but both families refuse any union, because of antagonistic religious divisions. It is not until Inger suffers a miscarriage and dies that the quarrelling neighbours are united, as are the two young lovers. "Nobody thought to ask Inger back from Death," says Johannes. "She will rot because the times are rotten." Only Inger's daughter Maren believes in Johannes' ability to perform miracles. Because of her, or for her, he pronounces the word which brings Inger back to the living.
