Harlequin
Are His Powers More Than Magic?
Directed by Simon Wincer
Produced by Farflight Investments, The Australian Film Commission
A murky supernatural thriller that blurs the line between genuine healing and sinister manipulation, anchored by a mysterious faith healer's arrival in a senator's family.
Up-and-coming senator Nick Rast's young son is terminally ill with leukemia. A mysterious faith healer, Gregory Wolfe, appears and seems to cure the boy. Rast's wife Sandy falls in love with Wolfe, but the powerful interests behind Rast's career, represented by geriatric monster Doc Wheelan are less happy with events.
