Faith, Hope And Charity is the story of an independent woman struggling to keep her head above water in a time of economic depression.

Elisabeth is a fighter, an ever-optimistic saleswoman in pre-war Europe, but when she is fined for selling without a valid permit, her debts mount. Drowning in bureaucracy, Elisabeth is driven to a desperate and absurd solution by attempting to secure a downpayment on her own corpse for future medical research. For a time it seems that stability and even love might be her salvation, but the unstoppable machinery of the state catches up with her.
