Ivan is a priest in a rural church known for the apples that grow on a large tree in front. He's odd: seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, in denial about personal facts, and convinced he's at war with Satan. The rectory is a half-way house for recently paroled convicts. Adam arrives for 12 weeks, a large, tough neo-Nazi, first baffled by Ivan's thick-headed optimism, then angry. He vows to break Ivan's faith. Meanwhile, in exasperation at Ivan's insistence, Adam sets a personal goal: to bake an apple pie. All goes awry for the tree: crows, worms, lightening. The Book of Job gives Adam perverse insight, and his hooligan mates provide the resolution's spring. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
First, I'd like to say that Danish humor is rarely completely understood and some scenes of this movie made me feel somewhat bad. BUT! I noticed that me and almost the whole audience laughed more during this film than anyone has laughed while watching Mr. Beans whole production.
If you aren't too sensitive to black humor, I strongly recommend you to watch Adam's Apples. Concept of the film revolves around themes like religion, mental dis-behavior and good vs. evil. Adam's Apples also comments strongly modern society's hectic pace of living.
Watch this film. Period.
