New Showbiz Analysis

Wer's glaubt wird selig is a culturally specific comedy that prioritizes regional authenticity over diverse representation. The film adheres to established social and religious norms without challenging them. The narrative centers on personal redemption and community stability within a traditional Bavarian context. This localized approach limits the film's scope to its immediate cultural setting. Ultimately, the film serves as a study of a specific Bavarian region, offering limited breadth beyond its local context.

Official Synopsis

The snow is staying away from the Bavarian ski village of Haunzenberg, and so are the skiers. Business is failing and so is Georg's relationship with Emilie. During his attempt to reignite the fires of passion, the wooden cross in the next room falls down, crushing Emilie's very Catholic mother Daisy. Wracked with guilt, Georg and his drinking buddies hatch a plan to have Daisy canonized by the Church, hoping to save both the village and his relationship. Everything goes according to plan until the Vatican sends a Priest to examine the miracles of Saint Daisy... Written by Anthony Parkhurst
