Love, clarinet and Saint George. What is the daily life of any parish? Of course, intrigue. Christianity is beautiful, but people are weak. For example, a priest who has been serving at St. George’s Church in Kumarangiri for fifteen years and is not willing to share power or authority with anyone. Or an altarman who steals money from a church circle and cheats with mortgages on parishioners' homes. Or a parishioner, a petty pathologist, a lover of quarreling between people.
For a number of reasons, the abbot is interested in the demolition of the old church, and the altarman is interested in the fact that the parish orchestra failed in the music competition. But this can be prevented if the musicians of Gevorgese win, which has not happened in many years. And the fate of not only the orchestra and the church building, but also his own happiness with the daughter of the contractor Shoshana, depends on whether the timid clarinetist Solomon, crushed by the fame of his father - a great musician, can overcome himself.
This very beautiful, gentle and lyrical film is like a soft version of Kusturica. Here there is a little less noisy unscathing phantasmagoria, but more veiled mysticism and good such madness of two thousand years of endurance - the very one that is "for the Hellenes." Angels bring coffee, saints appear in a very unusual form, excrements are thrown in mailboxes, bowls of sauce fly in slow motion, life and death, beauty and ugliness, great and small, sin and righteousness are bizarrely intertwined, evil is punished, and love - and faith - triumph, forever and ever, amen.
