How it feels

The film follows Christian Stückl, a passionate theater director, as he rehearses and stages the centuries-old Oberammergau Passion Play in a Bavarian village over three years. It shows the tension between tradition and modern realities, and the clash of commerce, art, and local life behind the biblical spectacle.
