In a small, conservative Scottish village, an oilman is paralyzed in an accident. His wife, who prayed for his return, feels guilty; even more, when he urges her to have sex with another.
This spiritual fever dream defies the boundaries of traditional religious drama through its raw, uninhibited portrayal of faith and sexuality. Expect a visually arresting journey that finds the divine in the most scandalous and heartbreaking human impulses.
