Midnight Mass poster
NR

On Christmas Eve 1944, the devout Kubis family gathers under one roof despite divided loyalties: their youngest is a partisan, the eldest a guard, the daughter an Aryanization beneficiary, they sit with a Nazi guest, and the prospective bride is a communist. As the war’s end draws near and the front collapses, conflicting convictions and survival instincts force the family to confront moral compromises and the inevitability of sacrifice. What will each confess at midnight mass when duty to family, faith, and conscience collide?
