THE MAN FROM ROME

Writer-director: JAAP VAN HEUSDEN

Drama / Thriller

Filippo is an unusual mixture of detective, scientist, and priest. He comes to a small Dutch town, send by the Vatican to investigate, and probably debunk, a miraculous statue of the virgin Mary. Little does he know that he’ll find a grieving community that won’t allow him to take away their miracle. And an enigmatic, mute young woman – helps to crack down Filippo’s certainties about his calling as a priest and as human being.

Special Mention for EMMA BADING

Emma Bading receives a special mention at Festival International Cine Del Mar (Uruguay) for her performance in THE MAN FROM ROME by Jaap van Heusden.

16/07/24

The Jury said: „Her outstanding role raises questions about what lies beyond the earthly. She is the beyond. She is what cannot be known and is precisely the center of the drama. By communicating through gestures, her character gains even more determination and makes us experience her conflict with depth, unease, and mystery.“

🎉🥁🚀 Nothing to add, Emma is beyond!
