Based on the best-selling novel by Ron Hansen, Mariette in Ecstasy, explores questions of faith, fear, and sexuality against the backdrop of a convent in the early-20th century.  When the young postulant, Mariette, enters The Sisters of the Crucifixion, she arrives with a fierce commitment to God that manifests in divine visitations and visions.  Her presence destabilizes the quiet life of her fellow sisters and religious leaders and inspires a crisis of belief and identity that leaves no one in the community untouched.
