Das Leben des Michael ServetThe Life of Michael Servet
Like a theological road movie, the film uses locations and historic witnesses around Europe to describe the life and teachings of the Spanish physician and theologian Michael Servetus, better known as Michel de Villeneuve (1511-1553). Because of his teachings criticizing the orthodox formulation of the trinity, Servet was persecuted by the Church all his life. He fled to Paris where he practiced under an assumed name and made a major medical discovery, before his quarrel with the Reform Protestant in Geneva, Jean Calvin, made him the most famous martyr in the Reformation.
