What happens when two filming atheists get free access to a preacher's seminary? And this in a place like Wittenberg, the Lutherstadt, once the stronghold of the German Reformation, today located in one of the most unbelieving corners of Europe. For one year, Chris Wright & Stefan Kolbe accompany a group of young men and women in the final phase of their training to become pastors. In the beginning, it's mostly about learning religious trades. But as time goes on, protagonists and filmmakers alike find themselves increasingly confronted with the most fundamental human questions. Boundaries become blurred - between belief and unbelief, comfort and despair, truth and madness. What emerges is an open, intimate dialogue about our fundamental needs for love, security and meaning.
