Ireland is one of the few countries in which Christianization has not caused the complete disappearance of the old pagan religions, but has transformed them into new forms of cult sanctuaries. This film about the Emerald Isle journeys across worlds and eras, offering moving encounters with nature, and spiritual adventures beyond the tourist crowds. In quiet, meditative shots of Glendalough, Monasterboice, Newgrange, Malin Head and other mythical places, Rüdiger Sünner explains - for example with reference to the Celtic Cross - how pagan and Christian ideas combine, and which secrets the 5,000-year-old monument of Newgrange still holds. "The spiritual culture of this land invites us to gently bring paganism and Christianity into conversation." (Rüdiger Sünner)
