A claustrophobic, introspective meditation on spiritual doubt and cultural displacement, told through the mounting anguish of a woman torn between two worlds.

An Ugandan nun is consumed by fear and doubt about her decision to take the solemn vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Her anguish intensifies night after night as she lies on a hard bed in her small room at the convent and listens to the rhythmic, beckoning drums of her village.
