A young, God-fearing delinquent poses as a priest in a remote village in Poland. Gradually, he transforms the lives of his flock. Based on a fascinating true story, the mesmerizing Corpus Christi shocked the Venice Film Festival and marks the great return of Jan Komasa at GIFF. 

A criminal seeks a second chance. A village holds a secret. A divine intervention! Based on real facts and spiced up with screenwriting inventions, Jan Komasa’s third feature film is fascinating. The portrait of a young man who carries out weddings, baptisms and funerals in a small village in Poland, without being a priest. He just wants to become someone for once in his life. Embodied by an awe-inspiring, charismatic and divine Bartosz Bielenia!
