A Croatian soldier turned boxer is haunted by disturbing dreams of the Virgin Mary that lead him to post-911 America (Oakland) to fulfill a religious vision in this suspenseful and timely look at the violence underlying any form of fundamentalism. Made in the months following the 9/11 attacks, the film offers a warning to anyone who misreads religious texts as a means to profaning the holiness of life.
