A group of Anglican nuns, led by Sister Clodagh, are sent to a mountain in the Himalayas. The climate in the region is hostile and the nuns are housed in an odd old palace. They work to establish a school and a hospital, but slowly their focus shifts. Sister Ruth falls for a government worker, Mr. Dean, and begins to question her vow of celibacy. As Sister Ruth obsesses over Mr. Dean, Sister Clodagh becomes immersed in her own memories of love.

It simmers and then quickly explodes. With stunning cinematography it's a fascinating story told with worlds I really know very little about.
But it all seems so simple...did I understand it? Have I failed or succeeded... perhaps I shouldn't have been watching it in the first place. Time to move on.
