This short shout comes from NYU alum, Ms J.J. Stone, featuring the talents of names you should be familiar with, given that we’ve written about them previously on this site - Adepero Oduye (Pariah), Anslem Richardson (Five Deep Breaths, The Locksmith); and cinematographer extraordinaire Bradford Young (Pariah, Restless City, Middle Of Nowhere).
Synopsis:
Zipporah, a sister in a religious order, is dealing with a secret about her desire for something she has never experienced—erotic love. When Luca, the nephew of the Mother Superior, seeks refuge at the convent after deserting the army, Zipporah engages in an intimate relationship with him that will change the course of her life.
