Religious faith as the everyday experience of ordinary people is rarely treated seriously, or even depicted, in cinema. Often it is either magnified into extravagant lyricism, or mercilessly derided. Zwischen uns Gott takes a very different, more honest and intimate documentary approach. Director Rebecca Hirneise feels estranged from the beliefs of her Protestant upbringing, and so returns to the culture of her family in order to understand it better and come to terms with it. She initiates a literal circle in which theological discussions take place between her mother, aunts and uncles.
