ENGLISH TEXT BELOW
Lægprædikanten John Redmond (Valdemar Psilander) virker dragende på de fleste i det lille bysamfund, hvor han har slået sig ned, men den unge forhærdede Billy og hans kriminelle bande har kun hån og spot tilovers for Redmonds ord. Da Billys kæreste Nelly lægger afstand til banden, kommer Billy dog i tvivl om sin livsførelse. Kan præsten Redmond, der selv har en dyster fortid, hjælpe Billy til at blive et bedre menneske? Det moralsk opbyggelige drama har datidens store mandlige stjerne Valdemar Psilander i hovedrollen. Filmen bliver da også indledt med en vignet, hvor vi oplever Psilander sidde ved sit skrivebord og indstudere rollen som John Redmond.
The evangelist John Redmond (the superstar of Danish silent cinema Valdemar Psilander) holds great fascination for most of the smalltown community where he has settled, but the young, hardened Billy and his criminal gang have only scorn and derision for Redmond’s words. However, when Billy’s girlfriend Nelly distances herself from the gang, Billy begins to have doubts about his way of life. Can Reverend Redmond, who himself has a dark past, help Billy become a better person? The morally edifying drama features Valdemar Psilander, the great male star of the time, in the lead role. Indeed, the film opens with a vignette showing Psilander sitting at his desk, rehearsing the role of John Redmond.
EVENT Brief introduction by Thomas Christensen. LIVE MUSIC: Lithuanian jazz/punk band Sheep Got Waxed featuring Simonas Sipavicius, Adas Gecevicius and Paulius Vaskas.
