Tickets: £5 / £4

Young, virtuous exorcist Father Suryn is assigned the task of investigating a case of demonic possession after a local priest is burnt for tempting the nuns of a convent. Upon meeting their abbess, he finds himself suddenly thrust into a struggle to save her soul from the forces of darkness, and forced to choose between sacrificing his own purity and saving the convent from evil. 

A beautiful and visually sophisticated film, featuring a truly breathtaking central performance from Lucyna Winnicka (previously the lead in Kawalerowicz's Night Train), Mother Joan of the Angels is an intense and enthralling study of faith, sin and redemption.
