Anchoress

Ecstasy and Orthodoxyiin the 14th Century!

Enter the medieval world of Christine Carpenter, a visionary girl whose passions attract two powerful men in the village; the priest and an officer. Each decides he will be the one to control Christine, but she has eyes only for the Virgin Mary. When the Priest urges her to become an Anchoress (a walled-in recluse), she accepts, attracting pilgrims seeking her advice and healing power. Christines awakening sexuality calls into question this lifelong arrangement, as a battle between the priest, the officer and Christines mother turns dangerous. When she challenges the priests authority - the order of society; its government, religion and sexual relations are all thrown into turmoil.
