Directed by Manoel de Oliveira. A young woman unleashes the fury of her fiancé, friends, and family when she claims that the Holy Spirit has impregnated her. This melodrama of suffering and spirituality powerfully evokes Carl Dreyers The Passion of Joan of Arc and Ordet, as well as Roberto Rossellinis The Miracle. Archival print!
