When he refuses, she phones her ex-boyfriend in a moment of despair. In the end, the entire "Holy Trinity" gathers at the dacha. In times of peace, running is ridiculous; in times of war, it is a sin. In the feature film Unholy, these words are spoken by the executioner assigned to sixteen-year-old Love Crossova before Pontius Pilate. What if all of us are crucified between the past and the future just as Jesus once was? Unholy is a film about a love triangle, a meta-narrative woven into the life of an ordinary teenage girl. What if the teenage girl Love Crossova her name echoing both love and the cross embodies the image of Christ in a story where Magdalene is a married, parasitic man, and Juda is Crossova's former lover? This story is a reinterpretation of the events surrounding Jesus and Pontius Pilate. This is an experimental film a cinematic parable. Written by
