Holy Waters is a film about people worshipping water. And a movie about my grandmother who abhors water. Starting point is a small spring in the Upper Austrian province, which becomes a great reflection of human longing. An associative journey into the realm of energized water, around the devotees, the butcher, the doctor from Lourdes, and the prominent water guru from Japan. A film about the substance of all life, and an approach to existential questions. Can water wonders work, and can liver cheese be sacred?
