Word of God

Henrik Ruben Genz, Denmark, 2017

108 min.DK/FeatureDrama

A film about an eccentric man of the world called God who lives in an ordinary detached house with his family: his Swedish wife Gerd Lillian and his two youngest sons, Thomas and Jens. The oldest son, Mikkel, wants nothing to do with God, so called because he treats the world as his own creation. In reality, God is a man with a mild dependency on alcohol. Omniscient and inspirational, he rules his subjects with love, cunning and an iron rod – not to mention spirit.
