For Anna-Maria, an X-ray technician, paradise is where Jesus is. The woman devotes every free moment to missionary work, wanting to heal Austria and again lead her to the path of faith. During everyday pilgrimage through the streets of Vienna, with a figure of the Virgin Mary in the hands, he knocks from door to door, bringing good news to people. One day, after years of absence, her husband, a Muslim who is chained to a wheelchair - a Muslim of Egyptian origin, returns to the home of Anna Maria. They are both forced to live together again, but this does not end well. Spouses' quarrels begin to supplant prayers and religious songs. The marriage of Anna-Maria turns out to be the next stage of her way of the cross, showing with great strength unfulfilled longing for true love.

"Paradise: Faith" is the second part of the film trilogy about the three Christian virtues (love, faith, hope) of Ulrich Seidl, which merges the title "Paradise." The starting point for the screenplay was the real story that Seidl showed earlier in the documentary "Jesus, you know" and which he in turn decided to develop in this film. Work on "Paradise: faith" lasted four years, although the main role Maria Hoffstätter played in the film was preparing for this role for seven years. Ulrich Seidl dedicated the second part of the trilogy to the famous comedian Max Linder. The film was shot by a duet of well-known operators - Wolfgang Thaler (a longtime associate of Michael Glawogger) and Ed Lachman.
