The Discovery of Heaven (25th Anniversary)
Twenty-five years after its original theatrical release, The Discovery of Heaven returns to the big screen. Jeroen Krabbé’s impressive film adaptation of Harry Mulisch’s famous novel is now available to watch in 4K for the first time.
God has had enough of humanity and decides to break His covenant with the earth. To carry out His decision, the stone tablets bearing the Ten Commandments must be returned to heaven. Since angels cannot intervene directly, they devise an ingenious plan and begin to influence the lives of people on Earth.
The plan takes shape when the brilliant linguist Onno Quist and the charismatic astrologer Max Delius meet in the 1960s. The two men become inseparable friends and eventually share their love for the shy cellist Ada Brons. From this extraordinary love triangle, Quinten is born—a boy with an extraordinary destiny. As friendship, love, faith, chance, and fate become intertwined, a grand story unfolds that spans generations and continents. Quinten turns out to play a crucial role in the mysterious plan set in motion from heaven.
