PITCH
Harald has a feeling that he might be the new Messiah. Harald has grown up in an alternative religious movement and the day has come for his confirmation ritual, which will make him an official part of the church family. But the head of the church and his father don't know about his secret, which could be devastating for his entry into the family. Ultimately, Harald has to decide whether or not to give up a part of himself in order to keep his relationship to his family and friends.
