Sermon on the Mount

2017 · 124 min

A quiet, talk-heavy exploration of faith that asks you to sit with big questions and offers little easy comfort.

Drama
Starring
Baek Seo-bin, Tak Woo-suk, Park Chang-June
Overview
Questions occasionally turn up in the mind about those deeply buried stories that nobody was clear about. Can 8 young people find the real answer? What is the tree of knowledge and the forbidden fruit? Why did God make the fruit and let people pick it and eat it? It is Jesus who suffered for their sins, was resurrected and be-came the way of truth and a virtuous life itself. If people followed the way of Jesus, they would be resurrected and be unified with God and get into Heaven. But the reality is that the human world and God’s world are separated.
