Pinksterprins plot

Thomas Fontein (25) has everything: a strong wife, a great position within the Pentecostal Church and the power of persuasion to touch and inspire young people. When it turns out one day that pastor Daniel has completely different plans for Thomas' future within the church, he falls into a crisis of faith. Thomas does not want to disappoint his loving family and wife, but increasingly struggles with the life he seems stuck in. Everyone seems so sure, but when he asks God for help, it remains eerily quiet. In a fierce battle with pastor Daniel, Thomas tries to find himself again. Is there room in his church for the doubt he feels? Or will Thomas be cast out of the only place where he found safety and warmth?

Beautiful film in which the tension between giving in to oneself or returning to the religious community is perfectly expressed. A beautiful role by Jonas Smulders as Thoma Fontein

Daniël Kooij [Daniël Boissevain] is the pastor of a Pentecostal church. When he decides to continue his work elsewhere, he only confides in his intended successor Thomas [Jonas Smulders]. Thomas cannot keep the secret news from his wife [Selin Akkulak] and soon everyone knows. That turns out not to be the only reason why Daniël then decides to appoint Marjolein Markusse [Sanne Langelaar] as his successor. Thomas feels passed over and ends up in a crisis of faith that forces him to take a critical look at himself, his faith and the ties with the Pentecostal church, including those with his father [Job van Gorkum] and mother [Bianca Krijgsman]. Smulders is good in a drama that does not sufficiently succeed in conveying the implications of Thomas' doubts. As a result, it seems like much ado about nothing.

For a 'TV movie', this one isn't bad.

Everyone plays with full conviction.

Daniel plays a very annoying and dominant personality.

Why aren't you allowed to doubt faith or God for once?

Immediately, the doubter is frightened into believing that God will punish him, etc.

It is ridiculous if things are like this in some churches.

Has little to do with true 'faith', in my opinion.
