Saving Grace background

Saving Grace

A shy and introverted woman finds solace in her daily routine in Wellington, New Zealand, until a gentle and kind-hearted carpenter enters her life, bringing a sense of warmth and comfort that slowly changes her perspective.

In Wellington, New Zealand, a troubled 19-year-old street kid named Grace frequently clashes with Gerald, a kind and innocent carpenter. Despite their differences, Gerald shows kindness to Grace, offering her food, shelter, and small change. As they spend more time together, their contrasting personalities lead to a developing relationship. Gerald's confession that he is Jesus Christ sends Grace fleeing, but she returns, skeptical, and demands proof. The film convincingly portrays Gerald as Jesus, culminating in a miracle that heals Grace's self-inflicted wounds. The pair begins a romantic relationship, but things take a dark turn when Gerald asks Grace to crucify him on a massive wooden cross. In a shocking twist, a video shows Grace brutally forcing Gerald to submit to the crucifixion.
