The Innocents - BLU-RAY

Warsaw, December 1945 the second World War is finally over and Mathilde is treating the last of the French survivors of the German camps. When a panicked Benedictine nun appears at the clinic one night begging Mathilde to follow her back to the convent, what she finds there is shocking a holy sister about to give birth and several more in advanced stages of pregnancy. A non-believer, Mathilde enters the sisters' fiercely private world, dictated by the rituals of their order and the strict Rev. Mother (Agata Kulesza, Ida). Fearing the shame of exposure, the hostility of the new anti-Catholic Communist government, and facing an unprecedented crisis of faith, the nuns increasingly turn to Mathilde as their belief and traditions clash with harsh realities.

Young Ida (Rakel Lenora Flottum) was unhappy with how her folks put her needs behind those of her autistic sister Anna (Alva Brynsmo Ramstad), as well as the sterile apartment complex they'd just moved to. As she befriended new neighbor kids Aisha (Mina Yasmin Bremseth Asheim) and Ben (Sam Ashraf), she'd discover they had strange mental abilities... and they'd trigger similar gifts within Ida and Anna to stunning consequence, in Eskil Vogt's unnerving opus. 117 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack Norwegian; Subtitles English. In Norwegian with English subtitles.
