British film star Diana Rigg gives a moving performance as a sophisticated London businesswoman who, after suffering a personal family tragedy, leaves the world and becomes a Benedictine nun at Brede Abbey. This acclaimed film captures the beauty and essence of religious life in a monastery as we watch how a successful person of the world is transformed into a devoted cloistered sister who struggles with the coldness and suspicion of some sisters who doubt the sincerity of her transformation. She desires to become a missionary but learns through obedience that God's ways are superior in love to ours. Also stars Judi Bowker, Pamela Brown and Gwen Watford.
