Agnes of God
That night, murder wasn't the only sin.
Directed by Norman Jewison
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A psychologically complex mystery set within a convent that probes faith, innocence, trauma, and the nature of truth through the investigation of a dead newborn.
When a dead newborn is found, wrapped in bloody sheets, in the bedroom wastebasket of a young novice, psychiatrist Martha Livingston is called in to determine if the seemingly innocent novice, who knows nothing of sex or birth, is competent enough to stand trial for the murder of the baby.
