In Paradise: Faith, Ulrich Seidl explores what it means to bear the cross. For Anna Maria, an x-ray technician, paradise lies with Jesus. She devotes her vacation to missionary work, so that Austria may be brought back to the path of virtue. On her daily pilgrimage through Vienna, she goes from door to door, carrying a foot-high statue of the Virgin Mary. One day, after years of absence, her husband, an Egyptian Muslim confined to a wheelchair, comes home. Hymns and prayers are now joined by fighting. Paradise: Faith recounts the stations of the cross of a marriage and the longing for love. Paradise: Faith is the second film Ulrich Seidl's 'Paradise Trilogy'.
