Matthew Passion (film)

At Agatha’s birthday party, Matthew takes a public stand against Robert’s treatment of her, leading to a series of events that bring the two closer.

Attempting to meet his father’s expectations, Matthew asks Agatha to pose as his fiancée, but this ruse quickly unravels, resulting in her dismissal from the church.

About a year later, Matthew, still serving as an altar server, sees Agatha again in church, where she shows him her newborn from afar, signaling the silent yet powerful connection they still share.

The script was written by Igor Rybin, and the creators aimed to portray the life of an Orthodox community within modern society, addressing the real-world issues faced by parishioners.

Actors Aleksey Rozin and Timofey Tribuntsev participated in rehearsals specifically designed to bring their characters closer to the everyday lives of Orthodox clergy.
