EMPTY CHURCH
UK Premiere
A young pastor returns from the capital to a small provincial town where he takes temporary custody of the church at which his late father-in-law presided.
Ignoring an early warning of potential trouble, he perseveres amid indifference (during his ministry the building is as the title implies), injustice and corruption. Eventually he is confronted by a dilemma, on the resolution of which depends not only his own future but also that of the entire community.
Thanks to sensitive direction and fine acting, Maks Maksimov has delivered an unexpected feelgood movie with a strong sense of Christian values.
