The documentary "The Big Question" explores existential queries about the divine by asking direct questions to a diverse group of people. The setting is the backdrop of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ", a "non-place" where individuals share their intimate perceptions of the divine. The film is a notebook of laic catechism, showcasing the cultural, religious, social, and geographical variety of the interviewees. It features a subtle and sometimes humorous research, touching on topics that resonate with believers, atheists, agnostics, and the undecided.
