An ingenious and satirical video about love rituals. The video was
commissioned by the video magazine Time-code. The theme of the
commission was ‘the rituals of love’. One of the conditions was that no
dialogues could be used. That was resolved by Trividic by using very
graphic titles.Trividic took the word ‘ritual’ literally and placed the
action in an 18th-century nunnery, Kaufbeuren in Bavaria. A young nun,
sister Crescance, has a vision of the Holy Spirit in the form of a
beautiful young man. The nunnery gets very excited. The mother superior
orders the construction making of a portrait of the Holy Spirit as it
appeared in Crescance’s vision. The portrait eventually comprises the
image of a gorgeous naked young man. Once again there is excitement, but
now scandal too in the nunnery. It is clear that sister Crescance has
confused earthly and heavenly love; that she has not been able to
distinguish between the love. Crescance is suspected of being influenced
by the devil and the order comes from Rome to destroy the
painting.Trividic ascertains that in many languages there is only one
word for love, be it love of God or sexual love; the fusion of the two
very different concepts forms the basis for this video, which uses all
modern video techniques and is related to the music video in its style
