Ordet
The showmakers

Overview
The three sons of devout Danish farmer Morten have widely disparate religious beliefs. Youngest son Anders shares his father's religion, but eldest son Mikkel has lost his faith, while middle child Johannes has become delusional and proclaims that he is Jesus Christ himself. When Mikkel's wife, Inger goes into a difficult childbirth, everyone's beliefs are put to the test.
Indie vibes check
Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer's 'Ordet' is often viewed as an independent film due to its minimalistic production approach, low budget, and reliance on its artistic vision rather than commercial success.
