14-year-old Maria and her profoundly Catholic family practice a radical version of the faith. Determined to choose her faith over all else, including the typical rites of passage for a teen, Maria sets out to mirror Christ’s journey to his own crucifixion in a series of escalating sacrifices.

A miraculous tale of religious oppression, this chilling psychodrama boasts a unique formal device: telling its story in just 14 shots, each representing a step on the titular Way of Sorrows. Bressonian in its ascetic power, Stations of the Cross is a searing examination of spiritual conflict.
