Triunity

The documentary film Triunity attempts a new artistic interpretation of the Trinitarian mystery against the backdrop of the suffering of contemporary man and the great crises of modernity.

The young man knows only virtual images, which are images of themselves, showing nothing else. Nature has distanced itself from men, but its dramatic absence suddenly becomes unbearably present. During Holy Week 2019, Notre Dame in Paris burns. A father loses his little son, who has been paralyzed by a tumor in his spine. They spend their first night in pediatric oncology together on Good Friday. An adult son tells the story of his father’s miraculous recovery from a coma. Scholars discuss the death of the modern global world. Augustine returns and meets a boy on the seashore. Comenius returns and meets a girl who is the wisdom of the little ones. Sophia. Ferdinand Ulrich sees war, but also peace, which is only where God’s children are. Scholars discuss again and again the words and images that reveal something. Unity. The Trinity. New life from the relations of love.

The film includes interviews and testimonies from leading contemporary philosophers, theologians, scientists and artists united by a common search for a relational vision of reality that transforms the opposites and contradictions all around us.
