After years of distance, filmmaker Rebecca Hirneise approaches her pious family to speak with them about religion for the first time. Documentary observations of family gatherings melt with discussion rounds, archive material, notes and memories.The film circles around the question of whether living out one’s faith is perhaps less healing, but rather painful for some family members. A debate ensues that reveals a broad spectrum of absolute faith in the Bible, a charismatic ecstasy and a deep-seated fear of God. An unusually intensive and individual world of Christianity unfolds.God between Us is a personal family portrait that shows the power that religion can have hold over a family.
