The Holy Family (1997)

Святе сімейство

A young man and a girl met in a church. He had returned from a business trip and was lighting a candle in front of an icon to commemorate his deceased mother. She was the church bell ringer and was about to go home. That's how they met. In the thick of things, it turns out that they're not just a couple in love, but a cold-blooded killer and a beautiful prostitute. The transformation is unbelievable, though totally cinematic. But that's not all... Filming is done. The actress takes off the luxurious fur coat she rented for the shoot. The actor changes his clothes too. Now they look nothing like their characters. Their daughter runs up to them. Real life, away from the screen, begins with its worries and cares.
