Plot

Christianity vs. Paganism in the Medievals

Quiet and hypnotic and subtly deceptive, the beautifully filmed story is, at its most basic level, a beautifully mounted tale of Paganism vs. Christianity set during the Middle Ages. A teenaged girl establishes herself as a walled-in recluse, an Anchoress, after she has a vision of the Virgin Mary. Her spirituality, mixed - or conflicted - with her awakening sexuality, disrupts the order of society and its government and religion are thrown into turmoil.
