What happens

Nadveren er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1971 instrueret af Bjørn Nørgaard efter eget manuskript. En variation af den nytestamentlige beretning om den sidste nadver, som den er fremstillet på Leonardo da Vincis berømte maleri. Et statisk kamera viser Jesus og disciplene til bords i nutidig påklædning. Trods central placering ved bordet er Jesus isoleret i forhold til de øvrige. Han fremstilles af ni forskellige i løbet af filmen, mens medlemmer af ABCinema-gruppen spiller disciple. Den daværende studenterpræst Jens Brøndum holder en prædiken. Desuden forekommer forskellige former for underholdning, bl.a. en tryllekunstner og et "live-show". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
