A deeply moving film that has touched audiences wherever
it has been shown. A new pastor, Anna, is sent for her first
assignment to a women's prison, where she encounters both
Kate, whose life story and reputation for disturbing powers
affect her profoundly, and Henrik whose position as prison
official should guard him against romantic attachments...
Following Dogme principles, director Annette Olesen probes
perceptively the themes of religion, friendship, love, desire
for (and experience of) maternity, shedding light on the
most painful corners of human existence and constructing
a heady, devastating climax. Brilliant cinema.
"I was impressed by its blazingly
emotional story and tremendous performances" Peter
Bradshaw, The Guardian
