In THE FUNDALMENTALIST, Markus, a reformed pastor, and Heidi, his former student now turned religious extremist, meet again after years apart. Heidi has come to save Markus from going to hell. A spiritual battle develops through their pursuit to try to change each other. But beneath it all, lurks a darker past they can't escape: a romantic and sexual encounter, which has deeply affected them both. THE FUNDAMENTALIST is a suspenseful two-character drama that offers an astute and nuanced investigation of fundamentalist belief and encourages us to reflect on human values, worldview, faith and responsibility to each other.
