As they strive to create a school and a hospital for the local community, their personal lives become intertwined with their spiritual journey.Sister Ruth's budding relationship with Mr. Dean, a government worker, prompts her to confront her vow of celibacy, causing turmoil within herself. Meanwhile, Sister Clodagh finds herself reflecting on her own past experiences with love as she navigates the challenges faced by this remote community and her sister nuns. The film masterfully portrays the delicate balance between devotion and human desire, offering a poignant exploration of faith and its complexities in the face of adversity.
