Synopsis
In the middle of the German provinces the tireless priest Sri Paskaran built the biggest Tamil Hindu temple in Europe. In 2002, he inaugurated the temple amidst industrial plants in the Westphalian village Hamm-Uentrop. Since then, colourful and sonorous ceremonies honour the goddess in the land of the down-to-earth Westphalians. The film accompanies the priest in his busy daily routine and during his arrangements to the annual temple festival expecting 20.000 believers.
In the neighbourhood, the locals cultivate their own traditions during the fair featuring shooting matches. Irene sells fast-food sausages in the local snack-bar and farmer Externbrink meanwhile has got a holy cow in his barn. An encounter and coexistence of two worlds.
