Kristuksen morsian

Marion wants to marry her female friend Julia. Marion has grown up in a religious family where her mother became a liberal priest. Young women have lived openly in a relationship, but now Marion's thoughts have changed. He finds himself a new life in the fundamentalist Simeon church led by his grandfather grandfather. Marion's mother Henry, one of the first female priests of the Lutheran Church, cannot stand the idea of her daughter attending a congregation that opposes female priesthood and homosexual relationships.

Directed by Kari Paljakka, Kristuksen morsian leans on a strong ensemble — Iida Kuningas, Niina Koponen, Miitta Sorvali — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2014.
