"You've got a family... A family that's waiting for you." Rialto Distribution has revealed an official trailer for a charming New Zealand comedy film called
Holy Days, about nuns who go on a road trip. This already premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival a few months ago and will be out in New Zealand cinemas in February - though we still have no idea when it will arrive in the US to watch. A lost boy in search of heaven, three odd nuns on a mission, a car powered by God (and stolen money). This is a road trip like no other. A comedic near-tragedy that just keeps going South.
Holy Days follows young Brian on a heartwarming quest to retrieve his late mother from heaven. With only the clue that his mother is on a snowy mountain, Brian teams up with 3 elderly nuns; Sisters Agnes (
Judy Davis), Mary Clare (
Jacki Weaver), & Luke (
Miriam Margolyes). Their reluctant partnership blossoms into a strong bond as they embark on this emotional, once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Also starring
