Plot Synopsis
That's right: an original opera, its music and libretto written specifically for this film - a tale of female suffering and redemption such as Lars Von Trier can only dream of. An updating of the Joan of Arc legend, it describes the tale of a young drug addict (striking Hungarian ingénue Orsi Toth) who falls into a coma following a traffic accident, and upon recovering, finds that she has the power to heal the sick and dying. She stays on at the hospital as a nurse - but the staff turn against her, engineering her downfall and, in so doing, ensuring her apotheosis. Magnificently scored, stunningly visualised, this is a true one-of-a-kind.
