About This Movie

Set in a Liverpool convent, it beautifully explores unlikely bonds formed in the most unexpected of circumstances. The chemistry between Rachel, the eager young volunteer, and Paul, who’s serving his community hours, is nuanced, capturing that awkward and genuine vibe of their mission.

The performances are raw, especially from the lead trio, making it a distinctive piece that sticks with you well after the credits roll.
