"Anchoress"

Set in the days when Christianity battled Paganism for the hearts and souls of the peasant masses, Anchoress is the powerful drama of one woman's (Natalie Morse, Drowning by Numbers) struggle for freedom of expression, individuality and sexuality as her visions attract the attentions of the village's most powerful men. With Eugene Bervoets (The Vanishing) and Peter Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father). 108 minutes.
