Nestled in a lush Swiss valley, 17-year-old Elisabeth—the second of four girls—is preparing to take her vows at a nunnery. But after five years in pious seclusion, Elisabeth’s fate is abruptly altered when she is summoned home to work the fields following the death of her elder sister, Innocente, whose mysterious death pushes Elisabeth to seek answers from three childhood friends—now young men with their own cravings for truth and connection. Inspired by Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1964 neorealist drama The Gospel According to St. Matthew.
