The Devoted
Pozsgai Zsolt Hungary |
1536 – Europe is in flames. The Roman Catholic Church and the followers of Reformation started by Luther are fighting with each other: the Roman Catholic Church, which has descended to unprecedented ethical and moral depths and the new type of messages of the Reformation. The pyres are on fire: the high priests of the Roman Catholic Church are burning the followers of the Reformation, and the monarchs who have converted to the Reformed faith are craving for revenge, and are persecuting the Catholics. This is the athmosphere in which the young Calvin appears, trying to solidify the new teachings in the capital of Reformation, Geneva, and trying to convert the whole of Switzerland. In the churches debates about religion are taking place – the film is about one of the most famous such debates. While Calvin is trying to convert the town of Lausanne, he is faced with a worthy opponent: Ignatius of Loyola, later the founder of the Jesuit order and receiving the title of Saint. But now he is only a wandering priest on his way to Rome, who wants to renew the Roman Catholic Church from inside. He is Calvin's opponent in the debate about religion. A religious reformer wanting to destroy everything to build a completely new Europe – and another reformer who wishes to reform his church based on the ancient Christian doctrines. During the debate we get to know the two men's lives and the road leading up to the debate itself. The film depicts love, treason, we see burnt masters, faith and faithlessness and also the ultimate question: is the renewal of contemporary Europe only possible through destruction, dead bodies and horror, wars and killing? We can also draw conclusions for the present. The film was produced in the 500th jubilee year of the Reformation.

Stronger
Mesver Argentina |
'Stronger' (Más Fuerte) is the name of our new album. This phrase has a double meaning for us. First, 'My love is stronger than your mistake ...' refers to a God who does not surrender with us, He is the one who calls, and who waits. A God who gave everything so that we understand the magnitude of his love - although we may never fully understand it - in spite of what we are or have been today, perhaps even of what we are going to be. Thus, he speaks of that Grace well understood and valued. Secondly, 'Stronger' expresses that we are more ready than ever to keep walking / running / flying in this dream called MESVER. |
