Established photographer James J Robinson glides smoothly and confidently into directing with his beautifully shot and absorbing drama centring on a middle-aged nun’s gradually developing crisis of faith. Sister Yolanda (Ruby Ruiz) has spent a life of devotion in a convent on Luzon island in the Philippines, caring for others and helping to guide young novice Sister Arlene (Kare Adea). That is until a last rites encounter with a dying young man spurs her to question her beliefs. Robinson crafts a meditative drama that hinges on questions of ethics, lost innocence and the Church’s complicity in maintaining social inequality.
