A nun encounters a lethal criminal conspiracy and begins to question her beliefs in this poetic, sensory meditation on faith, power and corruption. Filipino-Australian photographer James J Robinson’s debut feature is a masterfully composed slow-burn crime drama. You won’t be able to look away.
'A work that firmly announces a major new voice in Australian and Southeast Asian cinema ... a quiet miracle of a film.'
