"That was the most difficult thing to play as someone of my age [50], but with no experience of any of the life that someone of my age would have lived, says Hawes. She just went in at 18.

A convent garden belonging to a closed order of nuns sits in a UK setting marked by widespread social problems. Anna, a nun, is not self-righteously cloistered and makes regular trips to do good works at food banks.

Anna’s demeanor recalls obedience and a “Bride of Christ” sensibility. David, a younger priest played by Paapa Essiedu, carries demons and a desperate boredom while hearing confessions. Despite his worldly edge, David and Anna share a burning purity that feels distinctive, supported by expressive, guileless acting.
