and
sweet potato cream
, and the film will be
Adam''s Apples
, directed by Anders Thomas Jensen.
Ivan is a
priest in a rural church
known for the apples that grow on a large tree in front. He''s
odd
: seeing the world through
rose-colored glasses
, in denial about personal facts, and convinced he''s at war with Satan. The rectory is a half-way house for recently paroled convicts.
Adam arrives for 12 weeks, a
large, tough neo-nazi
, first baffled by Ivan''s thick-headed optimism, then angry. He vows
to break Ivan''s faith
. Meanwhile, in exasperation at Ivan''s insistence, Adam sets a personal goal: to bake an apple pie. All goes awry for the tree: crows, worms, lightening. The Book of Job gives Adam perverse insight, and his hooligan mates provide the resolution''s spring.
