MovieDocumentary
An intimate Danish documentary that takes viewers inside Copenhagen's Enghave Kirke, a parish affectionately known as the "Queer Church." The film follows the daily lives of Viggo Julsgaard Jensen, a gay pastor who overcame a deep personal conflict between his faith and his sexuality to preach that God's love is inherently inclusive, and Bo Hagen Clausen, the church warden who openly brings his vibrant drag queen persona, Ramona Macho, into the community's life. Together, they foster a radical sanctuary of unconditional acceptance, hosting unique events like a Children's Pride. However, their mission turns the church into a volatile ideological battlefield, as the film captures the raw tension, protests, and fierce resistance they face from conservative religious groups while fighting for LGBTQ+ visibility within an ancient religious institution.
