Pastor Stephan has been leading the church service in Fischbachau for 12 years. Because of the death of his wife and fewer and fewer guests in church, he starts doubting the existence of God. When an investment banker shows up after a service and tells him that the community has voted to sell the church, his world collapses completely. He's desperately looking for a way out of this misery and when all hope seems lost, a young refugee couple, Malik and Farhunda, knocks on his door and asks him for church asylum.
