From Sebastián Lelio, director of Academy Award winning film A Fantastic Woman, and starring Academy Award nominee Florence Pugh (Don’t Worry Darling), this period mystery centres on a young Irish girl, Anna O'Donnell, whose Catholic family claim she has eaten nothing since her eleventh birthday... four months ago.
The Irish Midlands, 1862 - a young girl stops eating but remains miraculously alive and well. English nurse Lib Wright is brought to a tiny village to observe eleven-year old Anna O'Donnell. Tourists and pilgrims mass to witness the girl who is said to have survived without food for months. Is the village harbouring a saint 'surviving on manna from heaven' or are there more ominous motives at work?
A psychological thriller inspired by the 19th century phenomenon of the "fasting girls" and adapted from the acclaimed novel by Emma Donoghue (Room).
