Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
A young girl with an undisclosed ailment is comforted by a nun who is her aunt in this symbolic, slow-moving drama. The action takes place in a clinic where the head doctor regards Christ as a subversive and a revolutionary. The victim's religious faith remains intact, even when she is on the verge of death as her aunt prays for her salvation.
