Adams æbler

Ivan is a priest in a rural church known for the apples that grow on a large tree in front. He's odd: seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, i...n denial about personal facts, and convinced he's at war with Satan. The rectory is a half-way house for recently paroled convicts. Adam arrives for 12 weeks, a large, tough neo-Nazi, first baffled by Ivan's thick-headed optimism, then angry. He vows to break Ivan's faith. Meanwhile, in exasperation at Ivan's insistence, Adam sets a personal goal: to bake an apple pie. All goes awry for the tree: crows, worms, lightening. The Book of Job gives Adam perverse insight, and his hooligan mates provide the resolution's spring. Show More

Details

Adams æbler (2005) is a Danish dark comedy film centered around Ivan, a peculiar priest who views the world through an optimistic lens, even when faced with personal challenges. Ivan resides in a rural church renowned for its apple tree, which symbolizes hope and goodness. The rectory where Ivan lives also serves as a halfway house for recently released convicts.

Enter Adam, a large and tough neo-Nazi, who is initially perplexed by Ivan's unwavering positivity but soon becomes infuriated by it. Adam makes it his mission to shatter Ivan's faith and prove the existence of evil by challenging him at every turn. In the midst of their clashes, Adam decides to set an improbable personal goal: baking an apple pie.

However, unfortunate events befall the apple tree, including attacks by crows, infestations of worms, and lightning strikes. These obstacles lead Adam to find solace and surprising revelation in the Book of Job, while his hooligan friends contribute to a unexpected resolution.

Adams æbler explores themes of belief, redemption, and the power of individual transformation. This darkly humorous and thought-provoking film takes viewers on a journey that challenges their perceptions of faith and the complexities of good versus evil.
