Young, virtuous exorcist Father Suryn is assigned a difficult task: he must investigate a case of demonic possession, after a local priest is burn to death for tempting the nuns of a convent. Arriving at the nunnery, he meets its abbess, Mother Joan, and subsequently embarks on a struggle against the forces of darkness, to save her soul. Inevitably, the priest must choose between sacrificing his own purity and saving the convent from evil. A visually sophisticated film, Mother Joan of the Angels is a study of faith, sin and redemption.
