The film accompanies protagonists and observers of the Ride of Blood in Weingarten, the largest equestrian procession in Europe with up to 3,000 riders and 30,000 pilgrims. Catholics from all over Upper Swabia take an active part in this procession. The film shows, among others, a country butcher and his family, a couple of beekeepers, a practicing Indian friend from Waldburg, the customs researcher and museum founder Jürgen Hohl, a monastery brother and the abbot of Weingarten Monastery. With ironic overtones, Wolfsperger creates a multi-faceted picture of society that goes beyond popular piety and folklore and delves into existential questions about faith, partnership and death.
