Philip and His Seven Wives (0+)

UK, 2006, colour, 68 min.
Director: Marc Isaacs
Six years ago God told former rabbi, Philip Sharp, that he was to become a Hebrew king. Philip then decided to take seven women to be his wives and created a new Godly family. Now they all live together in one house in a quiet English town. Filmmaker, Marc Isaacs, insinuates himself into the family to try and understand why seven women have chosen to live under the rule of one man.
